SP 354000-354199 series wood chip cars exceed clearances east of MP 90.0 and must not be moved past that point. Trains handling the above cars must reduce speed to 10 mph over Healdsburg bridge, MP 67.6. On all movements, cars must be separated at least 5 cars from engine or caboose.
Also, cars that "Exceed Plate C" or "Excess Height" must not be operated between Cloverdale & Willits.
The Siskiyou Line also had the restriction of "Exceed Plate C" because of tunnels.
