Mounting arrangement for railway wayside signal applications

A mounting arrangement comprising:

• an attachment member for attachment to an end of a post,
• a connecting member coupled to the attachment member, and
• a plurality of fastening elements coupling the connecting member to the attachment member, each fastening element comprising a longitudinal axis, longitudinal axes of the plurality of fastening elements being substantially parallel to each other,
• wherein the connecting member is coupled to the attachment member in a direction defined by the longitudinal axes of the plurality of fastening elements, and
• wherein the attachment member and the connecting member comprise mating cylindrical surfaces which allow a tilting motion of the connecting member about a rotating axis which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the plurality of fastening elements.
