Each car had two blue flags. Why was this? Were there maybe two
different crews/groups working and one wouldn't want to be in danger
relying on the other's blue flags in case one group left earlier than
the first and took their own flags with them?

In addition, I noted that the airhose on the last car on the rightmost string (with no blue flags?) appears to be connected to the last car on the next string. Why would the air hoses be connected like that?
