Neat.

Details on why 3(12) was so late, also posted in prior thread about the dalay:

...and it wasn't a SOGR issue, the equipment was running just fine, until:

3(12) with AMTK 164 and 199 crashed into a boulder near Laguna, NM.  No injuries to crew or pax but the 164 was damaged, possibly seriously.  An attempt was made to torch the pilot plow but there apparently could be structural damage, as the plow could not be cut sufficiently to clear, so the unit was set out at McCartys NM.  BNSF 5518 was picked up and added in the lead at Gallup.
