The first railroad to operate commercially in China opened in Shanghai in July 1876. So I suppose they could do a show with Cullen and Mei building that railroad.. but don't bet on it. :P

how on earth would he not find her... He had her address for christs sake and she would be waiting since she left it. And barely any time passed since she left ... Maybe 2 weeks at most... which means she probably did not even arrive in China yet when he set sail.. It would take 3 weeks to sail to China back than.. and he would not have to travel far after getting there because she was in Ningbo.. Ningbo is a port city right on the coast line.

that was covering the bullet hole that he put there when he shot that guy in the confessional when the show first started

man nothing you say ever makes any sense LOL actually its 7 years before.. that battle happened in 1876... this railroad stuff was 1869

Cullen gets the note Mei left him translated.. It's an address, her address in China.. at the missionary in Ningbo... He gets offered a job with the army.. he takes it.. then realizes he made a mistake... he goes to a church, confessional.. just sits there and says nothing while the priest asks him questions.. then he has some type of epiphany in the booth and starts laughing / crying.. back at his hotel room.. you see him getting ready to leave as Durants speech can be heard.. they show eva too who rides off to somewhere on her horse... a shot of his army uniform left on his bed as he leaves.. next they show him on a train.. a guy comes around and says next stop San Francisco.. they show him arriving at the passage to china ship yard... show him holding Mei's note while looking out over the ocean.. then show the hull of a ship... then show him on the ship off to China..

so you're saying its all ceremonial.. he was firing a gun too though....

Well you would think at this point he would simply want some peace and quiet. I think that would be the most logical assumption..

by the viewers in general... you haven't spent time on the face book page.. they're pretty ravenous / addicted over there.. but think of it this way.. for the people who have watched this for 5 years.. they basically helped make this show a success.. they supported it with viewership / ratings.. enabling them to sell ad space and make money... they owe their viewers a good ending. Not some depressing shit hole of an end.. which I am fully expecting anyway. I mean if you're going to take people on a 5 year long story telling journey.. at least end it the way the majority of the fan base would want... and I am sure they must know what that would is.. AKA Cullen getting a good end.. Remember when Lily was still around? They knew the fans needed to see them together finally.. and they made sure they did it before the actress left... its just common courtesy....

why on earth would anyone want to see him to join the army.. not to mention the fact that it would go completely against his character at this point. where he has been trying to stop killing which is why he didn't kill the swede and dragged him back to be hanged.. not to mention war is what basically ruined his life... not to mention his leg his totally messed up... not to mention he's probably in his early 40's...... that would literally be the dumbest thing to happen..

well after today... only 1 more day left till Sat.... I then predict extreme amounts of depression when nobody ends up getting an ending they want

found this interesting post made by someone on the hell on wheels facebook page.. not sure who it is but............

yet the job is finished..... and he's still there... I know there's one episode still left and not much time could have passed since "any sum within reason", probably only days or a week.... but I doubt anything changes.

I got 5 bucks that says the clowns at AMC kill him off in the end......... I think it was actually Bohannons fault letting Mei leave. sure he did a lot for her and didn't want her to leave.. but he could have just said.. pack your stuff, we're leaving.. instead he was willing to stay there putting them both at risk... for the railroad ?????? don't have much pity for him anymore.. they've turned him into an unlikeable, self destructive buffoon... and an alcoholic now it seems like... good game amc...

well here's one of the comments about that
