<p>I checked The Official Railway Equipment Register from January 1943 instead.  I sampled several cars from several railroads.  I looked only at house cars 40' feet and less.   I found that most had an extreme height clearance between 8-9" above the roof walk.  Some had extreme height 18"+.   The extreme height can be assumed to be the brake wheel in most cases for box cars.  </p>
