Why does the sign say 12'4"?

They raised the bridge (or lowered the street?) by 8 inches after constant complaints, so now the bridge 12 foot 4. Unfortunately (or fortunately), it's still low enough to take the roofs off tall cars

they raised the bridge, not due to complaints, but to make it more level with other parts of the tracks so the trains can go a bit faster along that stretch.
