Largest Cantilever

Post by signal-in-the-box »

Was wondering what the longest/largest cantilever is, after I found these 2 that are very unnecessarily large, considering they hold 3 signals each...
I'm not sure if this counts because these are actually highway sign gantries, but whatever.

They aren't highway sign gantries, but actually "bridge" cantilevers. The manufacturer(s) escape me at the moment, though, but these are actually made by railroad equipment manufacturers.

Lincoln Industries. They make the massive signal cantilevers, such as the one on Airport Roadhere in Huntsville, along with the bridge cantilevers you posted.
That's also a large was for those bridge cantilevers, a normal one would suffice.
They/Them for me, please.
