GING Cui, WONG Fook and LEE Shao
Railway Workers
Ging Cui, Wong Fook and Lee Shao were identified as three of the eight Chinese railroad workers who laid the final track connecting the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads at Promontory Summit, Utah. Fifty years later, on May 10, 1919, they were invited to participate on the “Golden Spike 50th Anniversary Celebration” float to commemorate the 1869 completion of America’s First Transcontinental Railroad.
