$2.3 billion goof: New commuter trains too wide for tunnels

I have to disagree on the metric versus imperial — Why would anyone intentionally spec a train’s width at 122.05 inches rather than 122 inches? Ten-foot wide objects aren’t measured with micrometers.

The town where I live constructed a runway at the airport and on completion discovered a water tower in the flight take-off path - - - one proposed solution(believe it or not) was to either raise or lower the water tower so planes could either fly under or over - - - at least they were thinking(?) out of the box -
