I have read in the Florida Commuter Rail thread that the idea of having bi-level DMUs for commuter service is a great idea, but never reached its full potential on Tri-Rail since Colorado Railcar didn't make them in mass production, and they couldn't convince any other railroad, other than Tri-Rail and Alaska, to order these DMUs, and later went belly up. Considering how Colorado Railcar was not a "popular" company at the time in comparison to Bombardier, Kawasaki, Siemens or Alstom, could it be possible for any of these larger rolling stock manufacturers to successfully make and mass produce a bi-level DMU for commuter or intercity service?
