I have enjoyed reading the posts about CB&Q's cantilever signal 
bridges. I know that one still exists, which on the BNSF near the 
St. Charles Air Line underpass. One other cantilever signal bridge 
that I saw was a picture in the book "Those Magnificent Trains: An 
American Anthology" by Charles E. Ditlefsen. On page 51, there is a 
picture of CB&Q's train #27 going under a cantilever signal at 
Council Bluffs, Iowa, in 1958. Does this signal still stand, and are 
there any other cantilever signals that survived the BN and BNSF 
mergers? Also, how does one model this signal bridge in HO Scale?

Thanks,
