Abstract: A rail mounted wind turbine includes a pivotable housing placed between rails of a rail track. The pivotable housing can move into at least one upward position and at least one downward position and includes a wind turbine. The wind turbine has a blade that moves when a force, such as a wind force, is applied to provide mechanical energy to generate electrical power. An electrical generator communicates with the wind turbine to generate electrical power from the mechanical energy. A controller controls the movement of the pivotable housing into the at least one upward position and the at least one downward position. At least one sensor associated with the rail mounted wind turbine communicates with the controller to provide at least one signal to the controller to indicate a position of a vehicle operating on the rail track in relation to the pivotable housing.
