It hard to tell from where you're at. If you can get a view of the bases you should be able to tell as the manufacturer is usually located there.

Closest I could get on Streetview to the signal. I think it says Lincoln Industries on the cover but I'm not sure.

It also appears to be one of those WT_F (yes!) cantilevers, I've always thought that they're pretty odd.

Yea, that's Lincoln Industries (Progress Rail). Looks to be Progress Rail's answer to the Safetran WT/F cantilevers, which have a more angled bottom.
They/Them for me, please.

Are Safetran WT/F cantilevers still in production? I like how their overall design is based on the 80s "bridge" cantilevers in a way.

I have no clue. You'd probably have to check Siemens's website.
