If engines are used to help push a train, is there some risk that cars may be pushed off the rails?

Anyone from Tucson know if the Union Pacific train yard in Tucson (just south of 22nd Street) can be viewed? Is there a special location? I read somewhere it was on the east side of the yard but google maps does not show much.
