So I am guessing this was done because the visibility due to the bridge supports is restricted for vehicles driving under the bridge and perhaps they had some Wiley Coyote moments on the railroad crossing on the other side?

Talk about a weird arrangement for a grade crossing set. The road is maybe one lane wide and the gate prevents people from getting trapped underneath the overpass tracks.
I found this railroad crossing. Huh? Is this road the Indiana-Ohio border?

There no traffic signals governing highway traffic.

The line on the ground is the original B&O main, which has a decent grade on it. When the line was double tracked, there was more cut and fill work done, resulting in #2 track being on a fill at the state line.

Noticed that the lights on the mast went dark for a few seconds several times. Gate lights did not. Was that a video glitch? One time at 3:21
The shutter speed of video cameras and the frame rate of LED lights can fall in synch to where the lights can appear out. They are not ‘out’ in reality. If the lights were incandescent they would be flashing like one expects, however LED lights have a defined frame rate when light is displayed.
Watch propeller aircraft through todays video cameras - at times the propellers will show a slow rotation, some times they will be shown as stopped. It all has to do with frame rate of the video camera. One flying show I recall had the camera in the cockpit and it made the propeller on the single engine aircraft SEEM to have the ends of the prop folding around the cockpit - there again it had to do with the shutter speed and the shutter path across the screen.
Moving devices and video cameras can generate some wild effects.
