Forgotten East Bay Tracks: Honoring the 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.
