今天从研究南太平洋铁路华人手里拿到这个照片,供您发表:
1883年1月2号德州西部,南太平洋铁路竣工。照片里有华工。
1876年9月5号 位于加州LANG 南太平洋铁路总裁克劳可打入金钉和龙San Joaquin Valley (圣觉肯山谷)段落的铁路:这是第一条链接洛杉矶和旧金山的铁路 3000华工投身建设没留下照片。
1881年3月8号 一颗音钉被打入轨道 Deming, New Mexico, 250名华工投身建设没留下身影。
SOUTHERN TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROAD – Chinese Railroad Workers
On May 10, 1869, Central Railroad and Union Pacific Railroad at “Day of the Golden Spike” for First Transcontinental Railroad, at Promontory Summit, Utah, Central Pacific Railroad President Leland Stanford, drove a golden spike. In the iconic photo, none 12,000 Chinese Railroad Workers were present at the ceremony.
On September 5, 1876, at Lang, California, Charles Crocker, President of the Southern Pacific Railroad drove a gold spike to complete his company's San Joaquin Valley Line, the first rail connection between Los Angeles and San Francisco. There were no photographs of 3,000 Chinese railroad workers.
On March 8, 1881, a silver spike was driven at Deming, New Mexico, linked the Second Transcontinental Railroad, between Southern Pacific Railroad with Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad. There were no photographs of the 250 Chinese railroad workers.
BUT, on January 12, 1883, “Day of the Silver Spike” marked completion of Southern Transcontinental Railroad, between Southern Pacific Railroad and Galveston, Harrisburg & San Antonio Railway, at Pecos River Low Bridge, in Texas. The ceremony photo included several Chinese railroad workers.
Under advice of Southern Pacific Railroad History Center, Union Pacific Museum emailed this priceless ceremony photo of them: “The Driving of the Last Spike of the Great Southern Pacific Railroad, January 12, 1883.
Today, January 27, 2022, marks the one-year anniversary of death of Corky Lee, our undisputed unofficial Asian American photographer laureate.
“Lee was puzzled by an official photo of the transcontinental railroad at Promontory Summit, Utah, which was completed in 1869 largely with Chinese workers but showed none of them. At the 145th anniversary celebration of the event, Lee gathered a flash mob of about 250 Chinese Americans for what he called a 'Photographic Act of Justice', with many posing in period costume for his photo."
