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.

I remember when I lived in Japan, in the winter when the trees had lost their leaves, and the branches were covered in snow, but the bark looked black where there was no snow, the view was breath taking.

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.

Thanks for the info. Clearly, I know squat about how trains run. My assumption was that the engineer, probably mostly just being a driver, wasn't the main guy responsible for knowing all of the details of the route, that stuff having been taken care of before he got involved.
