You're going to have to elaborate on that.

Plate K is the largest North American loading gauge, at 20′3″ high, most commonly filled by Autoracks.
(I don't seriously think we should have Plate K LRVs. I do seriously think GO should have plate K cars (actually, K height with full 10′8″ width); they could have more capacity via two full-length flat floors, and stop fighting the freight lines over catenary height.)
