Cargo on Light Rail?

Has anyone explored the capabilities and limitations of trying to run cargo trains in between pedestrian headways in an urban environment? They'd need spurs to pull out of the way of pedestrian trains for load/unload, but it could reduce the need for vehicle freight corridors in many areas...

What kind of capacity could it handle (compared with containerized semi tractors)? What am I missing about feasibility?
