Thought this one appears funny looking. No cantilever top?????
If you bothered to go to the other side of the road, you would have seen that the cantilever top has since been replaced..

That's just a standard double-sided crossbuck mounted one-sided on a cantilever. Those are meant to be in two pieces.

We have a few of those here in my area at some crossbuck crossings. And they are installed without being split part of the time.

Here's one I posted in the Google Maps Scavenger Hunt thread:

Do many companies actually bother making one sided crossbucks anymore? Every new install or whenever a crossbuck gets replaced here, it's always two sided, even though on signalized crossings it's only installed in the one sided format. (Crossbuck only crossings they install them in a two sided format.)
Well, :Censored:

All of the crossbucks that are installed by NS here where I am are all one-sided, so they are probably still made.

I think the double sided is all that the UP buys now. Look at this crap they "threw up" in downtown Omaha in bringing the crossbuck crossings up to code. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.265823, ... gDexVA!2e0

Well General Signals still does

Although they state it is a newer version, I do not know what they mean by that. BTW They are also single sided.

This is the best I have seen in a while! Strange cantilever setup right by Downtown Chatanooga,TN.

https://www.google.com/maps/@35.033909, ... JQSl2g!2e0

Funny How they use a small and large cantilever, also there roadway orientation seems quite odd. Although of its type is very common in several areas in the east coast!
