MMA 3603         
The lead locomotive on the train that derailed and exploded in Lac-Mégantic was also a C30-7, but it was an ex-BN one in their Cascade Green paint. An oil fire on the locomotive caused by an improper engine repair was a contributing factor to the accident, since the responding fire department shut down the engine allowing the brakes to release.
