Through a new Transcontinental Railroad program, the National Park Service (NPS) has an opportunity to preserve and share histories vital to the national significance of this route and critical to public’s understanding of U.S. History. The National Park Service
invites members of the public with a connection to the Transcontinental Railroad--including Native Americans and descendant communities of Chinese, LDS, Irish, and African American railroad workers --to participate in a listening session to share their perspectives. </div>
