Train A leaves New York at 9am Eastern Time on Monday, headed for Los Angeles at a constant rate of 40 miles per hour. On the same 3,000-mile stretch of track, Train B leaves Los Angeles at noon Eastern Time on Monday, traveling to New York at its constant rate of 60 miles per hour, with one exception: Train B is delayed for exactly 2 hours in Las Vegas (approximately 200 miles from Los Angeles) due to track maintenance. Assuming the time it takes for Train B to decelerate and re-accelerate when stopping and resuming in Las Vegas is negligible, at what time (Eastern Time) will the two trains meet?

A) 3:00pm on Tuesday
B) 4:30pm on Tuesday
C) 5:00pm on Tuesday
D) 6:00pm on Tuesday
E) 7:30pm on Tuesday
