Are there light rail versions of such? That would be useful for a long-term commuter rail system, allowing for peak-period extensions to distant communities at relatively low cost on the same system as the main line. For example, if the LRT was to be extended to Kanata, dual-mode trains could be used on the same line, converted to diesel to run to, say, Arnprior and Carleton Place.
