So I know this is a far out what if scenario, but what if MMA didn't go bust after Lac-Megantic? Obviously CMQ, wouldn't have been created, and as a result all of the capitol improvements wouldn't have been made, and Maine Eastern would have most likely have received the lease for the Rockland Branch again. That being said, MMA instead of going belly up, would have been bailed out by it's parent company (Railworld) which would have most likely had to sell off other assets to keep the railroad. MMA would have also had to do some sort of asset management like what CMQ did, with the scrapping of long out of use BAR, CDAC, CP, and other Iron Road equipment left on property.
