Folks check your overhead clearance

I have no idea how Amtrak intends to keep the trains running when they do replace them.  (Maybe they will build a seperate bridge for each track?)

or we will do the new monorail supertrain.

Maybe it would help though to have warning signs well ahead of the bridges near an off ramp or other side street that warned motorists of the upcoming bridge being less then 14 feet?!

off subject sorry, but similar I tried to take a sailboat with a 56' mast through a 50' bridge once.New Boat to us with some BAD information.. Cape may on the back side. creeping along hit the bridge at 2 knots with the fore stay, started forceing the stern down in the water...slammed reverse...caught a .lucky break with no damage....that is how you get killed.......s.........

Those coaches are from Van Hool

We'll call it 13 foot 2 inches tall.

The driver would have been well informed by his employer as to the need to watch the sky for clearances, especially if lost.

The drift towards ambivalence towards one's duties, no matter the occupation, is a societal disease with no cure in sight.

Most unfortunate.

happy coaching!

Relying on GPS for truckers is not a problem if they invest in one made for trucks that give clearance and weight limits. A GPS will allow you to exclude certain types of roads. Have to blame this on negligence not high tech.
