GRJ, that is what I would do too. The problem is some of those decisions have to be made beforehand when doing things in software or you get grades that are too steep. That causes folks to change a design to lower a grade that really doesn’t need to be lowered. I tend to use 6” clearance figuring 5 1/4” for rolling stock, 1/2” for decking and 1/4” for roadbed. That pretty much matches what you have. In this case, any rolling stock taller than that simply has to be run on the outer loop only.
