The Atlas container in the photo is definitely sitting about 1/32" above the surface so that's why it appears too tall. You need to have them all sitting on a level surface the atlas looks like its suspended up off the surface.

No. It definitely makes a difference sitting stacked in the well car. All of the other containers when double stacked clear my tunnels with space to spare. The Atlas containers, when double-stacked, lightly scratch against the portal. THAT'S what makes the difference here.

Do like the BN/BNSF did with Cascade Tunnel - notch the corners of the portal.  Of course, they had to notch the whole tunnel, which was a job.
