Push-pull operation is a sensitive topic for Metrolink. Many argue that Metrolink's Glendale disaster in 2005 was made worse by the fact that that train had been operating in push mode at the time of the accident -- they claim that had the heavier locomotive been pulling the train, it wouldn't have jackknifed and caused the second train to derail.

This, of course, is a moot point now -- as the Chatsworth train was being pulled by a F59PH.
