Hell on Wheels delivered in the Timshe.
A choppy battle with a decent win and ambiguous consequences.
Lily Bell showed some ignorance on how to operate a surveying instrument. She did not have a field book in her hand, While it makes a beautiful picture to have her resting her hand on the instrument, a good surveyor would seldom do that.
The railroad crew showed significant interest in actually building a railroad, thank goodness. The saloon after that would have been so full that you couldn’t see the chairs. The endearing pictures of Lily through the front window, again a beautiful picture, but . . .
Of course, in the next episode the Credit Mobilier will be receiving government funding by the train load.
Lily Bell will marry the Irishman with the hole in the head.
What, you don’t believe that? Well, it took a lot of stretchers to get us this far.
