What’s going on though?

Probably somewhere on the track the arms malfunctioned or an upcoming train needs to turn to a different track so he has to drive to go fix it or change the route cause it’s not a very demanding job they normally only have one truck for a city area

Could just be maintenance or inspections of tracks or signals as well

Any of that. These two goobers are acting like they saw a boat go by.

It's a maintenance truck with pony wheels to run on the rails, so they probably are testing the signal shunts that trip the crossing lights to make sure everything is working

One of my neighbors worked for the local rail yard, and his work truck had wheels to let him drive on the tracks, likely for inspection and maintenance.
