The freight railroads are not in the business of hauling loaded passenger cars behind their freight locomotives for any number of reasons, one of which is that it isn't profitable for them or they would have continued to do so.
If you're convinced the freight railroads will haul passenger cars behind their freight trains, I encourage you to call them and ask about their rules regarding such movements.
