C33-7 MMA.jpg
My next repaint is a bit special. It's the lead locomotive #5017 of the 72-car oil train that derailed in Lac-Mégantic Quebec in July 2013, destroying the entire city center and killing 47 people. The train was left alone the day before on the main track at Nante, 15 km from Lac-Mégantic. At 1 a.m. with no one on board, the train rolled downhill into the city center, where the oil-filled cars derailed and exploded. Ironically, the locomotives were unharmed, as they were the only ones not derailed and came to rest further away from the disaster. This locomotive is an ex-Burlington Northern C33-7 purchased by Montreal Maine & Atlantic, who couldn't even be bothered to buy a decent logo, just the letters MMA affixed to the sides. A company that went bankrupt shortly after the tragedy and this locomotive was sold at auction the following year. Of course, you're free to download it or not but I must warn you that it's bad luck! Download at your own risk.

Think a normal BN painted unit could be possible after this one?

Hi John, I searched for DTM's BN Dash 7 pack on Steam and can't find it. Can you give me a link to buy it? I would love to. Thanks John!

To: Unoriginal, yes of course, just the BN logo to put instead of MMA letters if It's what you mean.

I just realized you are looking for the BN pack. I have a feeling it is on Travel by Train website which appears to be down for maintenance.

The "DTM" BN pack was marketed by Travel by Train and yes, it's down for maintenance. I hope its not down because I had the temerity to ask for an update on the GP40 truck spring hangers.
