I've found most low underpasses are typically beneath railroad tracks. The tracks have often been there for 150 years or so, well before vehicle got so tall.
It's quite foolish not to know exactly how tall your rig is by measuring carefully. Otherwise, you could hit something you "estimated" you would clear. Or, you could spend a lot of time and fuel detouring when you didn't have too.
My TC on my '05 Chevy was 11' 5" to the top of the AC. There's a bridge under the train tracks near me that I went under a lot. It was marked as 11' 10". I went very slowly the first time watching to be sure it was right and it was.
