Wes's definition is a virtual copy of Webster's.
On RR's that favored the cantilever design one could find these structures on
single track or multiple tracks. As for roads that adopted other types of
signal supporting structures a cantilever might be installed at locations that
required the display of a signal over a track which was not the "outside" track
or in areas of heavy congestion that precluded the use of a support member on
both sides of the track.

With all due respect, a cantilever sticks out from one
side only. If it has support on both sides of the track it
is a signal bridge.
A "cantilever" is a structure that is supported at
only one end.
