The camera car is the car which originally caused the requirements that
we posted for 8-wide clearance:  15-some tall, and 10 wide

I thought we were doing the following:

Altenburg: 6 wide clearance of Metroliner
Outerloop: Go train
Innerloop: camera car

I'm currently working on the inner loop tunnel under Altenburg. This loop only needs to be 6 wide compliant, and I've already made it impossible for some of my 8 wide trains to use it. :-) What I need to know is, what is the largest "6 wide" car (...)
