Automated Track Inspection: Metro-North has developed a comprehensive
automated track inspection plan. This plan includes the use of track
geometry measurements, machine vision track inspection, and rail internal
defect testing. These efforts will augment the visual inspections conducted
by the railroad. Metro-North is purchasing an autonomous track monitoring
system to be mounted on passenger rail cars, to provide continuous
information about the condition of the right-of-way. The railroad will also
obtain a dedicated track geometry vehicle.



This is what is needed for those 120 car oil trains.  They need a sensors on
every oil train.
