CHSA Presentation: "Forgotten East Bay Tracks: Honoring Chinese Builders of the Final Leg of the Pacific Railroad"

Join the Chinese Historical Society of America (CHSA) on Friday May 8 at 7 pm for a presentation on "Forgotten East Bay Tracks: Honoring Chinese Builders of the Final Leg of the Pacific Railroad."

Join Victor K. Wong, researcher with the Chinese History Project, as he unveils the untold story of the Chinese who built the final leg of the Pacific Railroad from Sacramento to San Francisco Bay. Don't miss the deep dive into the most well-documented portion: Alameda Cañon (now known as Niles Canyon) in the East Bay. Come and see forgotten and newly found photos of the original tracks hand-carved through this narrow Cañon; they declare to all the Herculean handiwork of the unseen workers and bear witness to the strength and tenacity of the Chinese builders we honor.

The Chinese History Project is part of the Washington Township Museum of Local History which focuses on the history of Southern Alameda County, today's towns of Fremont, Union City, and Newark.
