Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway, the embattled railroad at the center of the deadly train derailment in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, filed for bankruptcy protection in Canada and the US amid a flurry of lawsuits and growing cleanup costs the company estimated would surpass 200-million dollars. The railway faced lawsuits and enormous cleanup costs following the fiery July 6th crash that wiped out the downtown core of Lac-Megantic and set off several explosions and fires that killed 47 people. Louis Coallier (lou-ee koh-al-YAY'), the lawyer for the town of Lac-Megantic, welcomed the ruling. (On August 13th, the Canadian Transportation Agency suspended the Canadian operating license of Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway.)
