Abstract: An apparatus to inspect and analyze railroad track and key track components includes an imaging module that collects image data and displays streaming video and key track components, reports and other geographical data; a data processing module that analyzes defect data; a mapping sensor that collects data related to the rail, key track components, and user location data; an image processing module that processes the image data and displays overlaid images onto the camera's field of view; a database operatively connected to the image processing module that saves the processed image data and provides past measurement and location data to the processing module; and a software module operatively connected to the database for analyzing the processed data on at least a user device.
