It's roughly a 30 minute trip. Would the wait for the different carriage be worth it ?

You try convincing a train company that you'd like to be transported as cargo.

I've been on this train on a tourbus, you're not expected / required to go out unless you want to use the bathroom. Maybe it's different for car transport. Imagine a normal train although slightly bigger where you yourself drive on and park. It's not an open carriage like a 'normal' car transport would use.

I thought buses work this way - passengers stay in them?

Unless you need to go to the toilet it is probably more comfortable to stay in your car.

Not being able to get out of your car in an emergency would be a bigger problem.

Crawl out the window?

In a Countach?? Not even if you are supermodel thin.
