Traditionally it's 4 longs (Eastbound) on the whistle chain to call in the flagman. i dont think that'd be req these days, but a nice touch anyhow.

I was there. Me and my papa saw it pull in and we drove to see it by that crossing at the end of your video

Why is the diesel engine in there? I thought they fixed it so that it was not necessary.

[@Sanozucke]

Probably "just in case", and the diesel loco is cute
