| B | 10 8 | 3.25 | 15 1 | 4.60 | 41 3 | 12.57 | For longer truck centers, the width is decreased according to graph AAR Plate B-1 on a 441 ft 8+3⁄8 in (134.63 m) radius curve[1] or AAR Plate D-1[2] |  |
| C | 10 8 | 3.25 | 15 6 | 4.72 | 46 3 | 14.10 | For longer truck centers, the width is decreased according to graph AAR Plate C-1 on a 441 ft 8+3⁄8 in (134.63 m) radius curve[1] or AAR Plate D-1[2] |  |
| E | 10 8 | 3.25 | 15 9 | 4.80 | 46 3 | 14.10 | However the top of rail clearance is 2+3⁄4 in (70 mm) instead of 2+1⁄2 in (64 mm).[2][3] |  |
| F | 10 8 | 3.25 | 17 0 | 5.18 | 46 3 | 14.10 | As with AAR Plate C but 18 in (457 mm) taller than AAR Plate C and 15 in (381 mm) taller than AAR Plate E, and the car cross section is larger at the top than AAR Plate E.[2] |  |
| H | 10 8 | 3.25[4] | 20 3 | 6.17 | 62 7 | 19.08[4] | e.g. double stacked containers in well cars. The cross section at the bottom of the well car differs from the X section of all other AAR plates. X section at center of car[2][5][4] |  |
| H | 10 1 | 3.07[2] | 20 3 | 6.17 | 63 9 | 19.43 | e.g. double stacked containers at greater than 63 ft 9 in (19.43 m) truck centers The cross section at the bottom of the well car differs from all other AAR Plates.[2][6] in well cars[4] |
