Hi All,
I've got a problem trying to go from a 6" of clearance between dual main tracks down to 4.5" to cross a dual track bridge. Here's what I've got so far, but I'm concerned that large trains (Big Boy size) going in opposite directions will hit. Thanks for any ideas.

Here's something simple that would improve clearance.
There is a short aqua straight track section (looks like about 6 inches in length) at the lower end of your aqua S-curve that leads onto the bridge. Remove that aqua section to move the entire aqua S-curve downwards in your diagram and insert that same straight aqua section at the top of the aqua S-curve. Similarly, on the yellow S-curve, remove the short yellow straight track section at the top of your diagram and put it at the bottom of the yellow S-curve leading onto the bridge. Those changes will move the two S-curves further apart and will increase the clearance. Lay the tracks and check the actual clearance with locomotives and cars before you finalize the track locations.

Thanks, I’ll try that.
