Abstract
A container that will house components of the device will be mounted to railroad ties to permit the user of this device to gather high resolution images of the undercarriage of a moving train car as it passes over a container that houses certain components of the system. The speed of the camera shutter will be dictated by the software that will work in conjunction with a linear speed detection device. The gathered images can be reassembled and forwarded to a remote location. The software provides an alarm in the event of a present danger.
