    Wouldn't just about any brand bridge do since you can control the height of the abutments on either side?

    Are you looking for a truss bridge in particular? About how long?

    Height under the bridge or through the bridge itself ? I believe most all the truss bridges made now will clear intermodal and autoracks thru the bridge. JMO

    The older-style portals on the original version of the Central Valley truss bridge will not clear double stacks. They also make a version with a more modern plate portal that will clear all cars.

    Otherwise, the other available truss bridges that I have examples of - Atlas, Kato single track, Tomix single track, Walthers dual track, Kato dual track, Tomix dual track - will handle all cars. I just tested them all with the worst-case car (Walthers car with two Walthers 48' containers).
