Barbara: Thanks for this link. I will put the picture and source along with your comments on the website. The picture of the elevated tracks reminded me of my truck driving days. I was dispatched to pick up a load in a section of Chicago which required me driving down a street under the elevated tracks there. The dispatcher warned me to make sure I had enough overhead clearance at each one of the metal beams supporting the tracks because my semi trailer was 13' 6" high and the beams are 13' 7" high. Some of the beams have reinforcing plates welded to the bottom of them which reduces the clearance and some of the streets have been resurfaced which reduces the clearance even more. If one does not pay close attention ...
