I have only seen a couple of these in my life, and all in Florida. Does anyone know where more of these can be seen?

Also if anyone knows, I have heard somewhere that these cantilevers where made especially for the FEC Railway. Is this true or not? :Confused:

These are called bridge cantilevers. And they aren't just in Florida (let alone exclusive to the FEC railway because there are two crossings here in Tampa that have them on the CSX). They're kinda rare to come across and are typically installed at major crossings with lots of traffic.

There are some in Arizona and California. There's one at this crossing in Flagstaff:
