Love the livery on the loco. Very nice.
I didn't get the joke, but hmmmm, I wonder where they got the idea for that pinstripe???????
I don’t get it, either. What did you find so funny about that scene?
Sorry but, I didn't see anything funny either.
I like how the track runs between the buildings, would be interesting to model. Reminds me of a Streetcar or Interurban line.

Plus the crew is properly flagging the crossing.
BTW: Exempt definition from the Washington Utilities and Transpotation Commission website. Other states appear to have similar definitions.
"Exempt signs are intended to inform drivers of commercial motor vehicles transporting passengers or hazardous materials that a stop is not required at certain designated railroad crossings, except when rail traffic is approaching or occupying the crossing or the driver's view is blocked."
(Google is our friend.)

What I got out of this was an interesting little shortline railroad that I had never heard of before that also operates a dinner train. Might be an interesting basis for someone wanting to do some Michigan train layouts. A holding company with five (very) short lines, including one with the interesting reporting mark of JAIL.

I see nothing funny at all either. The scene takes place in Lansing, Michigan, adjacent the Grand River dam and fish ladder. Typical Michigan scene of an older part of town with brick buildings.
Maybe because there is a concrete mile marker right on the corner of the building or its sandwiched between to buildings???
I didn't see any humor in it, either.
However, I'm impressed the crew did everything right.
I can understand why the hogger is easing the engine along. (Such as soft ties, soft roadbed and other likely concerns.)
And, seeing as that is an exempt crossing, and seeing as it doesn't see much rail traffic, I can fully understand strict adherence to the rules concerning flagging crossings.
In all, I thought all the hands involved did a pretty stinkin' good job.

Great livery color scheme. Exempt crossing or not, I too agree w/ the comments as to the crew's fine performance. Maybe it's the RR line's std. operating and safety procedures to treat all crossings as if they were regular crossings. Doing so would likely promote good practice consistently throughout their system.
Was the perceived humor somewhere in the vein of, "how many X does it take to change a light bulb?"
I think the humor is the engine is going about three miles an hour, there is no traffic and four people in the street stopping "traffic". Don

But,,,,,,,,,,why would THAT be funny?????
The poster was probably one of the guys in the video. The thread's title was click bait teasing a view.
Run of the mill operating...
I am waiting for the funny to kick-in...
Maybe the Forum Moderators can contact the original poster, and ask him/her to explain what he/she thinks is so funny, especially calling-out the "1:39" portion of the video.
Wow it is bothering you all that much? Maybe because the engine is coming out of the "parking lot"? Who knows but different folks find humor in different things. It was still a pretty interesting video to share. Comments like these will certainly cause good people to go other places.

Who stated that it is "bothering" anybody? Virtually everybody has been trying to find out exactly what is the "funny" part.

OK, good point, however nobody has yet thought THAT was "funny".

Which "comments", and which "good people"????

To add to what Hotwater said. As far as my comment is concerned. I had no malicious intent, not that there wasn't anything funny, but rather thought I was missing the joke, and was inquiring that maybe the O.P could point it out.
