Motor coach an unusual term?

A Swiss motor coach pulling four coaches: not an EMU and not a railcar

It has been said in different places that motor coach would be a rarely used if not wrong term for a motorized rail vehicle. However, I can't find another term describing a powerful, heavy, motorized passenger car, not fitted for multiple unit use. A railacar is always referred to as being lightweight, see en:Railcar, and can thus not be used for this category of vehicles. In fact I don't know of such vehicles in English speaking countries.-- Gürbetaler (talk) 15:25, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
