The answer is yes and no, Bob. I only have one bridge on my layout…
With the bridge up, anything can fit under it. With it down, pantographs have conniptions (don’t ask how I know). However, crossing it is problematic for tall cars (I can’t run double stacked intermodals for example). When I was planning my layout, @leapinlarry was kind enough to point out the height limitations of the lift section, but I just had to use the bridge because it reminds me so much of the Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge!!!

Oh, I know it well. When I was a kid it was 10 cents to cross. I was drawn to the RR. Bridge application. Sometimes when traffic was really bad in NJ I would take truck 1&9 and that was right next to the bridge.
