Bunkhouses

The Alaska Crossings wilderness behavioral therapy program also housed out-of-town guides in Trident’s bunkhouses before the program shut down in early 2022.

The project will offer bunkhouses, a restaurant, grocery and liquor store, laundromat, lounge and places to camp along the river.

Conditions in the bunkhouses must heve been similar to those before the mast.

These include overcrowded bunkhouses, lack of personal protective equipment and the absence of labour rights.

Later, as the railroad started moving long distances every few days, some railroad cars had bunkhouses built in them that moved with the workers—the Union Pacific had used this technique since 1866.

The Finns mostly lived in Uniontown, near the present-day end of the Astoria–Megler Bridge, and took fishing jobs; the Chinese tended to do cannery work, and usually lived either downtown or in bunkhouses near the canneries.
