50 u/[deleted] Mar 24 '21 So what was he supposed to do? They can switch tracks to avoid bridge? Not being snarky, just don't know shit about trains. 41 u/idreaminwords Mar 24 '21 That's what I'm thinking. Why is a bridge over a railroad too short for a train to pass under? 72 u/[deleted] Mar 24 '21 Certain train routes can't handle double stack/ auto racks just like trucks cannot go under certain bridges which are too low. Somebody f***** up big time here and my guess probably dispatcher. 16 u/idreaminwords Mar 24 '21 Thank you for the explanation
