NPC's added by Rampage will only result in them being static once autoloaded via Spooner (meaning any scenarios won't play). You may want to use Map Editor if you need to spawn an NPC with a certain scenario.

Created an account to comment on this topic as I'm also huge in modding RDR2 (played on/off for years so most older mods I have before I still use them now unless a newer mod was developed). Probably like everyone else I also got bothered with the ambient spawn stuff when I read everything in this thread so I tested it and performed some cleaning on my end. With lots of mods and stuff in the stream folder and specially WhyEm's DLC I noticed the very issue that this topic was talking about (no Trains, no passengers in Trams/Carts, no pink spoonbills). Not going to claim any solutions here since I didn't thoroughly tested the train spawning part like Dagger explained here but when I removed WhyEm's DLC and most of the stuff in the stream folder (specially player model changes) I immediately saw passengers in Trams/Carts, some Trains (Valentine, Saint Denis, Scarlett Meadows Crossing, Bridge in Riggs Station) and the rare spawns west of Saint Denis (pink spoonbills). I downloaded Railroad engineer to know the Train Spawns and even with lodscale Adjustment (1.0-1.25) and Ambient spawning mods (like Ambient Random Events, Ambient Gangs, Improved Wildlife and Hunting Grounds) I can see some trains now unlike before (again not fully tested as posted in this thread but seeing them now was a huge improvement). Honestly I'm fine with the results already and I just wanted to play the game again lol since I already spent several hours cleaning and testing and finding the compromise or balance I'm looking for with my mod loadout. Not sure it'll be helpful for others but pretty happy with the mods I have right now (still quite sizeable after some clean-up) so sharing them to you below with some comments on changes I tinkered with in the mods (some in systemsettings and globalconfig too like lodscale and ambient/max peds value).
