The network that telecasts the Emmy-award winning "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad" has decided to develop a new series, a historical Western about the creation of the transcontinental railroad, reports Deadline.com.

AMC had ordered a pilot of "Hell on Wheels," a pilot from reality production house Endemol USA. It is the sixth pilot that AMC has ordered since delving into original production.
