Brand new Hyundai Rotem car #214 has only been in service for less than a week and a half and has already been through the worst storm to hit Southern California in more than a decade. The new cars feature Crash Energy Management (CEM) technology which absorbs the energy of a crash, protecting the passengers and crew. The train heads for Los Angeles on the first rain-free day since last Thursday. |

My first time seeing a new Rotem cab car. Unfortunately, the car was not leading the train, but instead was placed behind the engine. |

New Rotem Car #214 |
| Description: |
One of Metrolink's new, safer Rotem cars makes an appearance on train 367. The new cab and passenger cars feature Crash Energy Management (CEM) technology, which absorbs the energy of a crash, greatly decreasing the number of passenger injuries in the event of a collision. Metrolink is the first railroad to purchase these cars, part of their goal to become the safest commuter railroad in the country. By the end of this year, Metrolink plans to have 137 of these cars, which will replace most of their current Bombardier fleet. |

Rise of the Rotems |
| Description: |
After many months of extensive testing and fixing a radio issue, Metrolink's new Hyundai Rotem cab cars can now be seen leading trains around Southern California. Here we see cab car #642 leading train 367 to Los Angeles, with new Rotem passenger car #211 behind the engine. The cars feature Crash Energy Management (CEM) technology, which absorbs the energy of a crash, greatly decreasing the number of passenger injuries in the event of a collision. Metrolink is the first railroad to purchase these cars, part of their goal to become the safest commuter railroad in the country. By the end of this year, Metrolink plans to have 137 of these cars, which will replace most, if not all of their current Bombardier fleet. To see a video of this train, copy and paste this link: http://www.rail-videos.net/video/view.php?id=10809 |

SCAX 681 |
| Description: |
A fairly recent addition to the Metrolink fleet, Hyundai Rotem cab car #681 leads a midday train to Los Angeles. Not that long ago, towards the beginning of the year, seeing a Rotem leading a train would have been considered a rarity. Today, almost a year after the Rotems were put in service (12/10/10), there are less than a handful of Bombardier cab cars still at the point of Metrolink trains. |

One-Toothed Grin |
| Description: |
New Metrolink cab car #660 brings up the markers of train 330 as it departs Claremont. This cab car is unique among the Rotems as it is the only one (to my knowledge) with what appears to be a second set of horns behind a square cage underneath the number board. |
