They called them "Paddy's" and posted signs saying "No Irish Need Apply." But Irish immigrants built the railroads anyway. Working for a dollar a day, facing dynamite blasts, cave-ins, and brutal weather, they laid the tracks that connected a nation.
The work was dangerous. Hundreds died building the Transcontinental Railroad alone. But they kept coming, kept working, kept building. They faced prejudice with persistence, answering discrimination with undeniable results. The rails they laid still carry freight today.
