If it's during the Del Mar racing season they could be Green flags.

The unit is displaying green flags meaning there is another train running on the same schedule. For example this First 580 with a Second 580 following.  The schedule is good for 12 hour of the advertised time  in the timetable. When a train is displaying green flags or green class lights when passing a station or meeting points with other trains etc. the whistle signal  -------------- 0 0  { meaning a long followed by 2 shorts blasts)  must be sounded.  great photo !
