Pretty sure that's always been the standard.

That's certainly an unusual way of doing a cantilever like that though. Normally, those cantilevers have the part with the gate mech and lights in front or behind the cantilever mast, not to the side underneath the arm like that.

Pretty sure I've seen a couple of those in the past being mounted like that.

It happens. Plus WCH still makes mechanical bells as well

can't tell if these cantilevers are from raco or trans corp products!

Transport Products did not make that style of cantilever.
