That seems to have been a custom job done by a local road department. The two pieces of the crossbuck are made out of extruded street blades (just one of the ones near me as an example), and the font appears to be the same Highway Gothic variant as what's typically used on street blades as well.

That C&NW cantilever's definitely nice to see though.

These crossbucks CP(KC) has in Davenport look somewhat similar. Perhaps custom jobbers too? (Sadly, they're probably all gone by now unless totally forgotten...)
