Good lord, talk about a misleading thread title.
An "expensive model collector"
It is evident that Amtrak held a 'Stop & Flag' train message about the crossing. When you hold such a message, you perform what is required by the message - even if the flashers and gates are opeating on arrival. It would appear that the flashers and gates were ONLY operating on the 'short' circuit, not the circuit that would permit operating at normal speeds. I have no idea which rule set the MofW employees were working under - it could have been under 704 authority - governed by a flagman that gives trains permission through the area, or it could have been on the 'single worker' subset of rules where the MofW people are not actually 'occupying' the track.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
I don't get why it has to all be last min but could be the camera angle......
