I believe the railroads meeting kind of put the spike in the series ;)
It played fairly well. We all (hopefully) know the RR's met in UT. This more or less is the drama behind the building of the RR

Another series that was kinda similar that we loved was Deadwood. Well worth the watch if you haven't seen it.
Is Deadwood on Netflix?
Hell on Wheels was AMCs best show, IMO.
If you have Amazon Prime you get free streaming included. They have most of the older HBO shows for free, including Deadwood. They also offer subscriptions to the premium networks to get the current shows, it's nice for the cable cutters out there.
My wife has Amazon prime. Might look for Deadwood there. Thanks.
Deadwood completely changed my mentality for what constitutes good television.
