Looks like this crossing originally had 2 of the same old-style cantilevers, but when the bike trail was built next to the road, they replaced one of the old cantilevers with a longer one that could cover the bike trail and the road. Looks like this decision was made by somebody who knows nothing about railroad crossings

Re: Cantilever Over Ped/Bike Trail
I've been there. Both of those signals are actually of about the same age, believe it or not, having been installed by the L&N in either the late-70s or early 80s.Brian556 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2019 4:34 pmLooks like this crossing originally had 2 of the same old-style cantilevers, but when the bike trail was built next to the road, they replaced one of the old cantilevers with a longer one that could cover the bike trail and the road.

Also, based on the width of this bridge (and the road beyond it), I wouldn't be surprised to find-out that the road was originally wider at the crossing (or at least was planned to be wider), hence the two different lengths & styles of cantilever.
They/Them for me, please.
