Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Wear the story of the Central Pacific Railroad, from its Sacramento origins to the Sierra Nevada crossing and its connection with the Union Pacific at Promontory in 1869. The route was built through extraordinary effort, with Chinese immigrant workers vital to its progress, including the climb over Donner Summit. Later company changes carried the line into Southern Pacific and, ultimately, Union Pacific ownership. A meaningful choice for railroad fans, collectors, and anyone interested in the history behind the route.
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.
