Not that you'll remeber this after a few days...
But regular wagons have a higher height (Between the rail and the wagon bed) - You can see the train wheels
The double stack wagons have much lower clearance you cant even see the train wheels
Therefore, half of the container disappears inside the wagon this the height of double stacked wagons is lower i.e its not the same as putting two containers ontop of each other on a regular wagon.
This is the same 60 x2k model double stack wagon in use in China passing through a tunnel of the same height (7.5m) as the Kenyan tunnel , and in addition, this tunnel in China has some overhead electric lines and the wagons still don't touch !!!!
