   I assume that these are push-pull, operated "pull" out from the terminal,   
   and "push" into the terminal with a cab control car in front.   
   This is why push-pull trains have always scared me when they operate in   
   "push" mode.  If there had been a locomotive at the front of the train   
   perhaps there might have not been a fatality (can't be sure about the   
   engineer) and fewer injuries amont the passengers.
