I understood that the Montreal metro trains used wood breaks and peanut oil. Hard to say if that makes the same mess, but the rubber tires surely leave something. Also, the new rames may use different breaking technology.

I'm struggling to find a source that tells the reason, but here you can see they chose wooden brakes. https://www.stm.info/sites/all/modules/custom/stm_import/imported_files/a-%20FicheMPM-10maquette_12.pdf https://www.stm.info/sites/all/modules/custom/stm_import/imp...
