system. The Central Pacific Company, starting from California, used
Chinese labor, the Union Pacific employed crews of Irish laborers. (6)______
The two groups worked at remarkable speed, each tried to cover a (7)______
greater distance than the other. In 1869, they met at a place called
Promontory. Many visitors came there for the great occasion. There
