The minimum height for train tunnels in the U.S. is typically set at around 21 feet (6.4 meters) to accommodate the standard clearance for most freight and passenger trains. However, specific requirements can vary based on the type of rail service, the region, and local regulations. Some tunnels may have higher clearances to accommodate double-stacked containers or specific types of rolling stock. Ultimately, standards are determined by the Federal Railroad Administration and may differ across various rail networks.

What is maximum vehicle height restriction on US roads?

Most states have a maximum height limit of 13 feet 6 inches. Some allow 13 feet 9 inches. While most overpasses, bridges and tunnels are built to allow the maximum height there are some that have lower height restrictions. You are usually safe on major US and Canadian highways. If you are concerned about low-clearance roadways you can purchase a trucker's atlas which provide lots of useful information including maximum heights on specific roads.
