In Canada, the bottoms have to be no less than 3 inches, and no more than 6 inches above the rail.It wouldn't surprise me if it were the same in the U.S.DanEdit: Damn spelling mistakes...

RE: locomotive plows
We have pilots, will they do?
The pilot on the 421 (bottom) is six inches above the top of the rail, so I believe you may have an answer.Projects
- 421 class Public Transport Commission of New South Wales diesel electircs:
Fuel & Air tanks - 100%
No. 2 end - 88% (Pilot details and number boards/headlights need to be added)
No. 1 end - 05% (Work on the pilot has been started)
Sides - 33% (frame work is up, about 1/2 of panels on)
Overall - 16.2%
- 422 class New South Wales Government Railways diesel electircs:
On the drawing boards for a project after the 421's.
Overall - Not official
