I apologize for not responding to question concerning status of OM earlier.
The OM continued with clearing operations. From time to time they would derail account hard snow conditions and of course rerailing took time. And periodically the crews would need to tie up for 8 hours rest. In fact they violated the 16 hour law a couple of times during this run. These situations would add to the length of time needed to finally reach Cumbres.
