I am looking for plans to ACL style cantelever signal bridges used on the A-line or other locations on the ACL system. Can anyone provide a location where I could get a set of dimensions or plans? Thanks.

Scott,

If you are searching for paper-based plans and dimensions, the archives of the CSX Engineering Division (Physical Plant - R/W Department) at the Jacksonville, FL headquarters may still have some information (if they can find it!).

Physically, some are still left in operating condition. I know of several in Florida, with the best example including hold-over ACL- type cantilever and bridge signals still being used at Winston, FL (about 4 miles west of downtown Lakeland, FL).

Hope this helps!
