The is closed by the railways, so no train would be sent on this track. The red flag is to warn the departmental works train that is on this track to distribute the material that gangmen are working on this line ahead.

Don't they have better ways of communicating that a line is blocked for maintenance than by just placing a wimpy little red flag on the line???
