I'm reading Railroaded:  The Transcontinentals and the Making of Modern America by Richard A. White.  White believes the transcontinental railroads including the Canadian Pacific should not have been built when they were built.  One reason is because of the treatment of the members of the First Nations.

If only the First Nations and Native Americans could have built the railroads?

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
