Hell on Wheels is an American Western television series about the construction of the First Transcontinental Railroad across the United States. The series follows the Union Pacific Railroad and its surveyors, laborers, prostitutes, mercenaries, and others who lived, worked and died in the mobile encampment called "Hell on Wheels" that followed the railhead west across the Great Plains. In particular, the story focuses on Cullen Bohannon, a former Confederate soldier who, while working as foreman and chief engineer on the railroad, initially attempts to track down the Union soldiers who murdered his wife and young son during the American Civil War.

It's been years since I binged this show (from very beginning!) It pops into my head every now and then. I loved it.
Today 9/15/2024 I see that all five seasons (assume all eps) were just added to HULU. If the upcoming regular season is as bad as I think it may be, I just might go west on the railroad again.
Great show and final episode of the season.
