Lots of Chinese labor involved with building the western section over the Sierra Nevada. The TCRR is a fascinating piece of our history and one that allowed western expansion to charge forward. I didn't realize until later that my Jr. High School in the Bay Area was named in honor of one of the financiers and builders (William Crocker). The original Union Pacific train depot in Cheyenne, WY, about 100 miles from here, does a great job commemorating the TCRR. Lots of history and artifacts there.
