See the CPRR payroll records, many of which have survived as a result of Lynn D. Farrar's efforts, and are now located at the California State Railroad Museum.
Regarding the Chinese workers, see the study of these payroll records, Nameless Builders of the Transcontinental Railroad by William F. Chew.
