Dated: Monday, March 03, 2008 Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway, LLC wishes to inform you that it has recently been involved in Canadian litigation with Ernest William Lampman and his company, Vancouver Diesel Consulting Inc. As a result of that litigation, MM & A obtained judgment against Vancouver Diesel Consulting Inc. in the amount of $88,970 plus prejudgment interest and costs. Vancouver Diesel Consulting Inc. did not file an appearance to the writ of summons and statement of claim and was therefore defaulted in that litigation. In related proceedings, MM & A obtained personal judgment against Mr. Lampman for $66,999.30 of that amount, plus prejudgment interest. In its Order of judgment against Mr. Lampman, the Supreme Court of British Columbia specifically declared that the judgment against William Ernest Lampman constitutes a “debt or liability arising out fraud and misappropriation of funds by the Defendant while acting in a fiduciary capacity pursuant to Section 178(d) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, R.S.C. 1985, c B-3.” Related Court Documents   MMA Railway Names Stephen Greene VP Mechanical Dated: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 Announcement VP Mechanical   Rail World Featured In Trains Magazine Dated: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 railworld_trains_0702.pdf (12MB)   MMA Railway Names John Schultz VP Transportation Dated: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 Press_Release_Schultz .pdf   (MMA) Railway Engineer Praises Remote Control Safety Dated: Wednesday, November 23, 2005 http://www.aar.org/Index.asp?IACID=3397   Rail firm (MMA) uses remote technology, Controls help improve train service, safety Dated: Tuesday, November 15, 2005 http://www.bangornews.com/news/templates/?a=123723&z=12 class=   Montreal Maine & Atlantic Railway names Rushmore VP Marketing Dated: Monday, September 26, 2005 Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway, Bangor, Maine, has named Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary Richard J.

Each government body will provide $23.9 million while Chemin de fer de la Matapédia et du Golfe Inc., Québec Gatineau Railway, St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railway, and Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway Ltd. will fund a total of $31.9 million. The short lines plan to replace more than 600 miles of track, install 35 million ties, and improve facilities and bridges. The roads also plan to announce an intermodal project at a later date. Officials at the short lines are pleased that both levels of government recognized the importance of short-line infrastructure, said Mario Brault, president of the Québec Gatineau, and St. Lawrence and Atlantic railways, in a prepared statement. Short lines annually move about 30 percent (1.5 million carloads) of the freight shipped in Canada. http://www.progressiverailroading.com/freightnews/article.asp?id=6759   Montreal Maine & Atlantic Railway names Lane C&S engineer Dated: Friday, March 25, 2005 Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway Ltd.

(MMA) has been in preparation mode on two counts: for upcoming winter weather and incoming remote-control locomotives (RCLs). The 745-mile regional — which operates track in Maine, Vermont, New Brunswick and Quebec — plans to implement RCLs for yard operations and some industrial switching, according to the railroad's fall newsletter. "The person on the ground can actually see the speed of cars coming together to be coupled and can control the speed right from the point of impact," said MMA Vice President of Transportation John Scott. MMA officials believe the railroad will gain productivity and safety benefits from remote controls. To ensure safety, workers will be required to follow all existing rules when operating RCLs. "If we have to go over a road crossing, we will have a person protecting traffic just as we do now," said Scott. http://www.progressiverailroading.com/freightnews/article.asp?id=5938   Montreal Maine & Atlantic Railway announces the following Dated: Friday, July 30, 2004 Montreal Maine & Atlantic Railway announces the following appointments effective August 1, 2004.

Press Release July 30, 2004.pdf   Montreal, Maine & Atlantic posts - and prepares for more - traffic growth Dated: Monday, June 14, 2004 If second-quarter traffic figures are as good as first-quarter data, Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway Ltd.'s (MMA) rough start in early 2003 because of a major shipper's bankruptcy will be a distant memory. Intermodal traffic was key to first-quarter gains. Intermodal loads rose 80 percent compared with first-quarter 2003 data because of a new dedicated train service between St. John, Maine, and Farnham, Quebec, and the reopening of a terminal in Presque Isle, Maine, according to MMA's spring newsletter. In addition, roundwood, lumber and paper moves increased 48 percent, 27 percent and 24 percent, respectively, compared with similar 2003 data. Lumber traffic has been driven by increasing southeastern demand for eastern spruce, pine and fir, while paper traffic received a boost from the late summer 2003 opening of Katahdin Paper's East Millinocket, Maine, mill. To accommodate more lumber and paper moves, the 745-mile regional is repairing and acquiring rail cars. Workers are sealing roofs, and straightening or replacing doors on 212 single-door and 106 double-door box cars, and repairing an additional 500 box cars before MMA signs off on a lease. The railroad also is improving track to support increasing traffic. Crews are replacing six miles of 100-pound rail with 115-pounded welded rail between Brownsville Junction and Schoodic, Maine; installing 20,000 wood ties near Jackman, Brownsville and Madawaska, Maine; and surfacing 300 track miles systemwide. MMA officials are trying to keep pace with 286,000-pound car requirements, too. The railroad recently applied for a $34 million Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing loan through the Federal Railroad Administration. Officials plan to use proceeds to improve bridges and track between Millinocket and Farnham to accommodate 286k, increase corridor speeds and refinance debt. http://www.progressiverailroading.com/freightnews/article.asp?id=4933   Katahdin Paper Prepares to Restart Paper Machine Dated: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 Katahdin Paper prepares to restart Millinocket's #11 paper machine and may call back as many as 130 employees. 5-12-04 Katahdin Paper.pdf   Montreal Maine & Atlantic Railway Year One Commemoration Dated: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway, Ltd.
