   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.
