I don't know excactly what happened into BRIO ingeniors minds, but somewhere in the process of building the electric trains, they just forgot about how high their brigdes are. That's to say: not so high at all.

Edit: added a version with holders that prevent the rail from sliding under the bridge

Now I could understand that years after years, they made their products evolve. That's a good thing. But their tracks is still the same standard. And when you buy an electric train in his box, the boxes states nowhere that this new engine wont fit under your bridges and wont make it through your tunnels. That's lame.

Anyway, thanks to @strepmud, here, it was only a mater of minutes to derivate a rail that would just set it back to right. It aint perfect, but you can use all sorts of bridges again, without the need to modify them!

It is still delicate though. Be sure to adjust the rail is such way that the engine is not touching the bridge. it is a tight fit.

Because of that, I also split it a '3/4' sized version (you need two of them to run under the bridge), and even an extension that you can insert between them so you can go under double, triple, quadruple (ect) bridges too. Isn't that cool? :-)

And if somebody want's to send me some woodfill filament...
