Gak! I don't think there are any decided 'standards' out there yet, nor even
any 'recommended practices', but looking at the image, a full 9 bricks is far
too high for a hi-cube car. I've seen plenty of hi-cube boxcars, both auto
parts and newsprint, and while they're taller, they're not _that much_ taller.
8 bricks vs. the 7 ought to do just fine at that width. Maybe add a plate if it
still 'feels' short.
JG's right though, the "feel" is the thing, so go with what works for you.
Cheers,
KevinM.
