I thought this as well at the end of last season, as it seemed highly unlikely that they would kill off the second principal character so abruptly, but then when I watched the season 4 premiere and Common's name was not in the opening credits it made me wonder. Turns out we are correct - Elam will be back at some point:

In the season three finale of AMC’s Hell on Wheels, Elam (Common) went searching for kidnapped Cullen (Anson Mount) and stumbled upon a bear instead. Out of bullets, he was last seen losing that battle. Considering Common’s not in the first official cast photo released for season four (click here for the full version), fans might worry he’s off the show for good. Those who caught him photographed at the cast and crew’s season 4 kickoff dinner, though, may assume Elam’s back. Exec producer John Wirth confirms it: “He survives the bear attack, but I think you will be surprised to see the manner in which he survives,” he tells EW. “The circumstances of his survival are unique.”
Can't wait to see how they do it. IMO this show is AMC's hidden gem.
