11' 8" can opener bridge
#1
In nov. 2019 they raised the notorious 11' 8" railroad bridge in Durham, NC about 8" to a new height of 12' 4": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPt4ijPFzc8
We all thought the party is over and no truck will ever hit the bridge again and gets converted to an open top box truck.
But alas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPUL2SQ77uQ

You still can watch a complete roof removing of box trucks.

And train squeezes box truck under the bridge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxOUG87rxDA

I was admiring the building across the track beginning at about 6:10.  Thanks for posting.
