comment
Aborted Arc: Cullen's quest for revenge against the Union soldiers who murdered his family, the main arc in Season 1, is eventually forgotten. Justified as he had lots of distractions by then. Cullen receives a pardon for the killings at the beginning of Season 2. While Cullen still shows no interest in tracking down his wife's murderers, this arc is picked up after a fashion in Season 3, when the brother of the guy Cullen killed in the opening scene of the pilot comes to the Hell on Wheels camp, and Durant uses the history of Cullen's murders in an attempt to get him fired from the railroad.

Always Chaotic Evil: How most non-Mormons see the Mormons, not helped by the fact they tend to shoot or enslave anyone who gets close to their land.

Alternate History: Verges into minor forms of this. Namely, in both real life and the show Durant was cast out of the railroad due his corruption, but in the show he managed to scheme his way back to the railroad, which in real life he never managed. Also, Brigham Young's son never attempted to assassinate him.
