It would make sense. I remember the passenger trains from my younger 
days in Germany. They usually had at least one freight car, sometimes 
more. Not only did this allow you to "check in" large baggage, it also 
made for a fast shipment option. Once we had an issue with a custom 
power supply made near Munich. Problem was, we were about 350mi or so 
north and time was of the essence. So I looked at the train schedules, 
drove it to the next station, gave it to the guy that loaded an 
Intercity train and about 5h later it was in Munich where an engineer 
from the supplier also drove to the station to pick it up. We had their 
measurement results and a mod suggestion the same day. That wouldn't 
even have been possible with Fedex, and this was in the 80's.
