Chinese Deserve Credit for Building Railroad
- Share via
* Probably few of the thousands who travel Highway 14 to and from the Antelope Valley realize they overlook the spot where the young city of Los Angeles was joined to Northern California, and ultimately the rest of the nation, by a rail line.
The Lang Station article (Dec. 5) provided a historical glimpse of that momentous event and of the Chinese laborers who did the actual construction. However it failed to mention that a second monument exists at Lang, placed by the Chinese Historical Society of Southern California to honor more than 3,000 Chinese who helped build the railroad and tunnel.
