The Hollywood Reporter: What about the Reconstruction era that first attracted you?
Tony Gayton: The D.W. As Griffith film Birth of a nation - we now know was born in this country of more: more sharing in the war, slaves, free, and is like, but not really more. It is still more ennovidhaluga. Durant (Colm Meaney), says in the opening in the first act - - This is a healing of the population there is still war in the east and west, and, after the fact to try to build a railway from the north and south of the existing conflicts, but the friction of each individual and s is not ready for healing.
Joe Gayton: We do not see racism in this show, and wanted to bring to light. Why is that of a slave, was released to one of our characters.
Tony Gayton: This is the idea of freedom, liberty, and a variety of levels. If you are on paper, they are free, but how they should be free? In many ways this is done, there really is no law.In, because someone out there in the middle of Nebraska and how the land was free, unlimited freedom of where and what to do with you?

This is your guide to the history of how much you agree?
Joe Gayton: We have a historic signaling, we investigated about it. We do not know what kind of people involved, the parties went through the railroad that was built there. So far, in terms of historical figures, we have all of Durant, and is an amalgam of the type. It was mostly physically, literally, the exact Thomas "Doc" Durant is not, but we have things is the fact that some parts of the pilot and he was persistent, so we're trying to choose the kind of things murky , a historical figure from it, but we'll keep 100 percent accurate. If you are not trying to be, we're hoping to resume the historical characters introduced in the line. You know, came out in Sherman. Grenville Dodge is a great character. To add more historical characters, hoping to resume the series if we are on the road, but now, in fact, taken from the history of the role of one of Durant.
Tony Gayton: The wheels of the truth of our history, we created these characters is played in hell. Some, for which the first 100 miles, so the first 40 miles, I tell you the exact history of the railroad, to run, so that gives freedom, government subsidies, the Irishman and a former Confederate soldier and former slave who went on to represent the bribe.

This season, they are mainly due to budget problems and the Union Pacific, Hell on Wheels was forced to stay together, but we are racing each other around the country, and it became really exciting to come in at love side of things, the Central Pacific.
Joe Gayton: We have a history, which is very important in establishing the first thought that instead of characters. Certainly the history of the Central Pacific. Many Chinese workers with their story line, half of it, however, took place in the Sierra Nevada. Once we do it on the line for us to explore the other really interesting aspect of this show.
