Train Engine

Is it more dangerous when a train engine pushes cars vs. pulling them?
I ride tri-rail every day, and in the morning, the train engine pulls the passenger cars, but in the afternoon, it pushes them…
Are BOTH equally safe, or is one better than the other???
According to the FRA (Federal Railroad Administration), which I believe studied the push-pull method after the accident in California a few years ago it, they came to the conclusion that there is virtually no different in safety regarding the cars being pushed by the locomotive rather than pulled.
