Keep the Central Pacific Railroad story close with a double-sided keychain charm inspired by the route from Sacramento across the Sierra Nevada. The company’s crews and Chinese immigrant workers helped carry construction over Donner Summit, before the line met the Union Pacific at Promontory on May 10, 1869. It is a compact keepsake for rail collectors, railroad-history fans, and anyone who appreciates the people and persistence behind the transcontinental connection.
Incorporated in 1861, the Central Pacific Railroad was authorized by Congress in 1862 to build east from Sacramento, California, as part of the first transcontinental railroad. Construction began in Sacramento in 1863. From 1865, Chinese immigrant workers formed a growing part of the workforce; by 1868, about 12,000 were employed, and the railroad crossed Donner Summit. On May 10, 1869, its tracks met the Union Pacific at Promontory, Utah, linking the route toward Omaha with Sacramento. The company consolidated with several railroads in 1870, including the Western Pacific Railroad and the San Francisco and Oakland Railroad. It was leased to the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1885, reorganized as the Central Pacific Railway in 1899, and formally merged into Southern Pacific in 1959. Southern Pacific was acquired by Union Pacific in 1996, which came to control the original right-of-way. The Central Pacific’s history connects Sacramento and the Sierra Nevada with the construction, labor, and corporate transitions behind a landmark American rail route.
