   That's interesting.  SEPTA trolleys crosses a CSX line in at least one   
   location as well.  What type of clearance do they have though?  Double   
   stack containers or some of the new auto racks are extra-high clearance,   
   but if they aren't operating those over that line it wouldn't be a   
   concern.  In certain other places, additional clearances might be a   
   concern.
