  1. you can never get americans to build such monumental things, ever again.
    they are a lazy, immoral, degenerate people incapable of accomplishing anything except drag and pride parades.

  2. the bosses carried loaded fire arms just in case any workers wanted to go home

  3. The headline should be 'American Built??' This is pure propaganda and cover up of who really built this railway because the logistics alone are not possible. California's latest train has cost over $150 BILLION(??) for 171 miles of track that, 12 years later, hasn't even been completed! That they built "10 miles a day" is a joke that only sheep will believe.

  4. Just the same as today Corruption for the Elites !

  12. OUR GOVT OF CRIMINALLY IGNORANT FRAUDS!!

  13. RAILROADS ARE SPRAYED WITH HERBICIDES EVERY YEAR!
    EVEN RAILROADS THAT HAVEN'T RAN FOR 30 YEARS ARE STILL SPRAYED!
    THAT'S POLLUTION!

  14. Be brave to give up the festive tinsel and the sparkle of artificial lights. Come out into the open space of the universe! Discover distant worlds for yourself; conquer the dazzling snow-white summits of divine consciousness within yourself!

  15. It was either this or Everything You Need to Know About the Gold Standard by Ben Shapiro. They told me that if I ever commented on the Transcontinental railroad again they'd charge me with sedition. Completly misunderstood. That's all I gotta say about that

  16. With the help of the Chinese and Irish and then told them to fk off and and exclusionary act the Chinese . CRT history for you

  17. Wasn't it built with Japanese slave labor?

  18. Transcontinental needs millions of dollars to keep them in my bank account investments to be more helpful for you my fan who are Reading this

  19. Chinese financed… that’s why the Chinese workers… little known fact

  20. 20,000 Chinese immigrants laid down 690 miles of track in the mid 1800s for North America’s first transcontinental railroad, connecting Sacramento to Promontory Summit in Utah.
