MN Loco engineers on this board have said as much about clearances.
A flat top MU is 12'10". That means you have at best 2 more feet for pantographs and catenary, plus some more space needed above that. The catenary cannot touch the ceiling. Forget it.

The side tunnels have shorter clearances than the middle ones, and they vary throughout their length, being built at different times.
