Ha! I though I was being conservative in my bridge design. I allowed for
8-wide cars and a 14 brick-height vertical clearance. It turns out that was
nearly the minimum needed. I goofed when I built my tank car too tall.
The next time I'll try and let everyone know, and I'll most definitely build
more clearance into my bridges.
