Is anyone watching the AMC Hell on Wheels weekly program about the ex-Confederate who's looking for the Yankee killers of his wife and son? The series is now in its second season, and you can find out all about it at http://www.amctv.com/shows/hell-on-wheels. I particularly like the opening theme song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7ApR8GOq7o.

I enjoy the show, but it kind of reminds me of a western soap-opera :lol:

My nephew got me watching it last season, long as you don’t watch it as representative of the actual times it’s enjoyable....course no engineer worth a lick would leave his locomotive in such dingy/oily condition...but it adds to the atmosphere on the show. There is another show ‘Into the West’ that I wanted to check out to but as yet haven’t watched.
