Hell on Wheels

[RAILSOHIO]

How many of you are watching this new series on AMC? It is set against the building of the Union Pacific,and there have been 2 episodes,so far. It airs on Sunday night,I just found out about it this week. I watched the first episode online,at the AMC site,since I missed it. They have gone to much trouble to re-create locomotives and rolling stock from the era. There is some so-so CGI,hey but we are ALL about that,aren't we, LOL!
Check it out.

So far I like it. They're still setting up the main characters.

I've been watching it. It's been interesting so far.

Interesting. I'll have to set-up my PVR to record an episode and check it out.

You missed the first two episodes that lay the story line out.

The link will take you to the site where you can learn more about the series,and watch the first 2 episodes. Hawk,I knew you would like this show,since it picks up right after the Civil War. I am trying to spread the word on this program, I really love it!

This is my new favorite show for sure and not just because of the railroad underlying theme, first 'western' style show I actually enjoy.

[Hawk]

Westerns are one of my favorite themes for TV and movies. That and SciFi.
My wife's always said she thinks I was born 200 years too late.

Hmmm. I didn't think Hawk was quite that old. Almost but not quite.

This looks like a good series. Thanks for the link, I don't get AMC here. (cheap basic cable. pfffftttt)

Very funny Chris!

Seriously though, I think he was referring to my involvement in the Western & Atlantic - circa 1862 route I was working on for MSTS.

Would "hope" be a better word choice than "think"?

Sometimes I can be sickeningly optimistic.

Excellent reply - we all need a daily chuckle
