What kind of meals were served on the transcontinental railroad in the mid-1880's?

Deaths during railroad construction

From: "Karen Zahm" thezahmmer@yahoo.com

I'm looking for information on deaths that occurred during the construction of the railroad. Numbers, causes, safety hazards that were ignored, any narrative information would be great.
