32nd street switching layout

[Bob C]

Stein...looks like a lot of planning and thought is turning out a fine layout. Paul, regarding the highway (and other) bridge clearances, the "Loading Gauge", Wikipedia has a page listing clearance measures world-wide, including the US "Plate" letters and heights for freight - like the white panel on the end of Hi-Cube boxes, auto racks & such that is lettered "Exceeds Plate 'C', 'F', etc. here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loading_gau...th_America. and additional data on Passenger car clearance (many routes in the East, with its older alignments and infrastructure didn't allow "Dome Cars" at some time), plus a little historical info. While Wiki's info is policed , it's largely volunteer work - you too can edit or publish information for others - so be aware, and verify if you aren't convinced of the accuracy. The US data looks correct to me. Bob C.
