No love for the Great Northern RR? built on a smaller budget with fewer
casualties, thru rougher terrain with no "stimulus" money and much less
drama/politicking

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Northern_Railway_(U.S.)>

And hey at least they're honest where they got it from in the ads I guess:

The intercontinental railway was built many years before that one,
with men, shovels, mules, and black powder. It was an astounding piece
of construction... during the Civil War. The Central Pacific/Union
Pacific created the real United States.

And I can hike through the old tunnels of the Central Pacific, and see
the original drill holes and walk on the China Wall. I used to work on
Judah Street and I still ski on Mount Judah.

Right, Donner Pass. Tunnel 6 is the longest of this segment.

https://californiathroughmylens.com/donner-pass-summit-tunnel-hike

I took some relatives through it yesterday and we had sandwiches and
beer on one of the occasional ledges that branch off the snow sheds.

This is worth seeing, for anyone who is driving west on I80.

You are completely obsessed by race. You seem very ill-adjusted to
whatever color you are.

Sure, a lot of Chinese worked on the railroad.

Of course the Canadian transcontinental railroad was finished in 1867,
but never mind.

Wikipedia says 1885, with the first coast-to-coast passenger train in
1886.

The Canadian transcontinental railroad was built by the Scottish, the
American transcontinental railroad was built by the Irish and Chinese,
the Great Northern was built by the Canadians, and the Panama Canal was
built by Americans and West Indies/Africans

Or something like that...

Something indeed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Pacific_Railway#Building_the_railway,_1881%E2%80%931885

"Many thousands of navvies worked on the railway. Many were European
immigrants. In British Columbia, government contractors hired workers
from China, known as "coolies". A navvy received between $1 and $2.50
per day, but had to pay for his own food, clothing, transport to the
job site, mail and medical care. After 2?1/2 months of hard labour,
they could net as little as $16. Chinese labourers in British Columbia
made only between 75 cents and $1.25 a day, paid in rice mats, and not
including expenses, leaving barely anything to send home. They did the
most dangerous construction jobs, such as working with explosives to
clear tunnels through rock.[20] The exact number of Chinese workers
who died is unknown."

I see. So the wall itself is not now considered a memorial, but is still
considered part of a railroad. However you can walk on the railroad but
you can't walk on the sign, which is the actual memorial, but is not the
wall, which is a railroad that you walk on.

This is a very confusing tour.

Great book:

No love for the Great Northern RR? built on a smaller budget with fewer
casualties, thru rougher terrain with no "stimulus" money and much less
drama/politicking

The intercontinental railway was built many years before that one,
with men, shovels, mules, and black powder. It was an astounding piece
of construction... during the Civil War. The Central Pacific/Union
Pacific created the real United States.

And I can hike through the old tunnels of the Central Pacific, and see
the original drill holes and walk on the China Wall. I used to work on
Judah Street and I still ski on Mount Judah.



the name "China Wall" would seem to indicate whom this real American
project was built by in large part....

You are completely obsessed by race. You seem very ill-adjusted to
whatever color you are.

Sure, a lot of Chinese worked on the railroad.

Gosh that's a lot of subtext to read into one sentence of commentary!

It's your constant theme.

I do have a suspicion that if a peculiar class of refugee made up of
millions of 27 y/o hot Swedish blonde women, with no other skills, were
swarming our southern border attempting to enter our country illegally
or to seek asylum it would not be possible to make any profit building
detention centers for them. I admit that.


It seemed a little odd to bring up the China Wall in relation to this
summary of the history of an American project without at least also
mentioning in passing what it is, for those unfamiliar, don't you think?

Most people have access to Google.

It's probably OK to use the memorial to workers who died as a foot path
as it was designed that way but I figured it might be, y'know,
respectful or something to mention what it was for in the description

The China Wall isn't a memorial, it's part of a railroad. The sign is
a memorial, and I have never walked on the sign.

I see. So the wall itself is not now considered a memorial, but is still
considered part of a railroad. However you can walk on the railroad but
you can't walk on the sign, which is the actual memorial, but is not the
wall, which is a railroad that you walk on.

Again, google allows anyone interested to look things up.

This is a very confusing tour.

I sure hope that you don't design electronics.

John Larkin lives in mortal terror of competion from people who can design electronics, not realising that his particular skill is in looking like somebody who can design electronics in the eyes of people who can't.

Bitrex has a rather wider repertoire than that.

John Larkin's enthusiasm wildly inaccurate abuse is a lot better represented in his posts that any kind of racism in the posts that bitrex pushes out.
