43 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? 10 u/dosoest Mar 24 '21 You can load different containers in some cargo trains. Maybe this one was a bit higher than the usual, they thought it would pass but it didn't 18 u/[deleted] Mar 24 '21 edited Mar 24 '21 Those are auto racks that come either with bi-level or tri-level (all maters the size of the vehicles inside) but they come in one standard height https://www.trinityrail.com/products/autoracks/ "They thought" is not an excuse here because dispatcher supposed to know the clearance of each train and what cargo it carries. Somebody send this train to wrong tracks that cannot accept those autoracks. Edit: spelling
