I spoke with the OnTrack Safety guy stationed in a truck before the "ROAD CLOSED" sign. It was very much a serious response and very much a canned "This is what I'm supposed to say so I don't get in trouble" kind of thing. Once he realized I knew more about what they were actually doing than he did, he just said as much ("I'm really not sure exactly what they're doing. Something with the tracks at the crossing, I guess.").
If it was OTS, then the reason he couldn't tell you is that he actually doesn't know. Those guys provide construction road signs and flagging people....they are also probably the pedestrian ambassadors (if that is the term that was mentioned earlier).
