Either that or on their days off DRIVE IN DEMO DERBIS.  What Metrolink is going to have to do is Suck it up and contract with both the UP and BNSF for crews like Metra does around Chicago when was the last time you heard of one of those trains running a red board and crashing headlong into a freight.

Always at war with those that think OTR trucking is EASY.

I see where another Metrolink train ran a red board and sideswiped a BNSF that was entering a passing track. I wonder if their T&E crews were all former amusement park train engineers.
