That sure is a quick conversion to open wagons.

Reminds me of the infamous Can Opener (aka 11 foot 8) Bridge. Looks like an attempt at DIY gauging to me

Memphis, Tennessee, Sunday 6 September: an over-height train being destroyed by a low clearance bridge.
Apparently, the train sustained more than $2 million worth of damage, not so much in the corrugated metal train car roofs but rather to the cars inside the train. It's not clear how bad the damage to the bridge was.
