They need to be an average of 1.5 feet taller, including a 9-inch cushion, to accommodate the double-stack trains.Can you imagine being a hobo stuck on top of one them containers going through them tunnels with 2'3" of clearance? I know it's not likely to happen in todays times but it used'ta! If it were me, stuck up there, I better hope to have a clean pair of britches to change into on the other side... if I made it out the other side!!!
