Chinese immigrants played a significant role in building the Canadian Pacific Railroad. They were recruited to work on the construction of the railway in the late 19th century, facing harsh working conditions and discrimination during the process.
The Chinese were asked to help build the Canadian Pacific Railroad. Many original tracks that dodged the mountains have been relayed to make a safer and newer route.
