I can't imagine that would be on the engineer. I would assume that routes would be planned out and would include information about the tallest cars that could be used.

There are at least three people who should have caught this before it happened. The dispatcher should know the route and the clearances before they scheduled a train onto a particular line. The train conductor should also know the route clearances and the height of loads in his train. The engineer just operates the locomotives and drives the train. He has to be checked out on the route and know all the speed restrictions, length of his train and other things and have some idea about the loads in the consist.
