Thank you, sir.
As far the comments that it might not be the crossing, it matches closely the description given on the DVD commentary (yes I listen to those
). They said it was literally a football field from the ocean and that crossing is indeed very close to the beach.
thats definitely the crossing dude
1 of the 2 wayside signals are still there
I trust you.
Speaking of rare cantilevers, check these out:

Don't forget these rare cantilevers. I only know of 4 of these signals period.
All four cantilevers are in Lansing, MI.

Yeah, the ones AndrewFields posted are fairly common around Wisconsin as well. The Milwaukee Road, Chicago and Northwestern and Green Bay and Western Railroad all used them. The only thing that's somewhat unusual is how short those are.

I'm not sure what style those are. Two of them are on the site. The other two weren't gotten, but they look the same. Both crossings are on Street View.

Most of the older stuff that SP put in in Oregon is now LOONG gone. The final stronghold are the Murray Boulevard cantilever signals in Beaverton but even those lost their 8" lights. Before that, they were pure SP.

Beware to anyone who discovers an older or rare type of cantilever... Mike always has his trump card - those rusty, decrepit (but still awesome!) dinosaurs in Lansing!!!
