Abstract
A railroad wayside signal cantilever () including an arm () with a signal mounting apparatus () that provides a degree of horizontal movement of the signal () relative to the cantilever mast (). The available range of locations for securing the signal on the arm is sufficiently broad to allow a single cantilever design to be used for a wide range of site-specific locations. An extendable catwalk railing () is provided to accommodate movement of the signal without creating an unsafe gap between the railing and the signal.
