>What about an unpowered cabbage (cab & baggage) car, similar to what is used on Amtrak Cascades trains? Just take an old locomotive, remove the prime motor & generator, fill the fuel tank with concrete and you have a cab car that is as heavy as a locomotive,

Assuming this has been done, which isn't at all certain.

>has storage space inside (bikes ect)

which is mostly inaccessible without high platforms. How many of these does Metrolink have?
