Ok so I used a different word there (Train) than a song used I'm sort of quoting. No matter if you get the reference or not, this is about a man seeking vengeance but finding something completely different along the way. And I too have not a lot of knowledge when it comes to building railroads. I would not even consider myself a railroad man in the slightest.
But I can enjoy a Western that surrounds itself with that. That has an Anti Hero, that tries hard to do good. But he has demons and he has done bad and he is able to do evil again. Try not to compare this with other Western shows (namely Deadwood), instead try to enjoy this for being different than that show. The journey we take is quite mind blowing and there is a lot of violence (though not much nudity).
We follow Cullen, the main character, very disturbed at the beginning and not with much of anything to hold onto in his life. He finds a different purpose, but is it worth the losses along the way? Can he cope and can he find redemption? Is there even the slightest chance? And how would that look like? Can a man take his destiny in his own hands? And while that alone is amazing - there are so many different other characters in this, that all have their own story! And a very interesting one at that! This is not flashy and may feel "boring" at times for some viewers, but if you buy into the premise, if you emerge yourself and dive into this world ... you will cherish it (and be probably be glad not to be in the middle of it)
