CSX W003 was led by CSXT GP40WH-2 9969 (ex-MARC 69, née-New York Central Railroad 3051, GP40) on Thursday, June 26, 2025, seen in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey, approaching CP 5 and Overpeck Creek. This train travels the CSX system and occasionally non-CSX lines under contract to ensure the tracks are in good 'shape'. After using only the two rear cars for many years, the 'Grand Rapids' 9

The CSX track geometry was seen earlier this summer at Deshler, Ohio, with the ex-MARC GP40WH-2 in charge. Become a Virtual Railfan member to watch this camera live. Click here to join now for just $4.99 monthly: https://virtualrailfan.com/memberships/ | Virtual Railfan

Norfolk Southern's Track Geometry Train was recently seen in Roanoke, Virginia. Track geometry trains, or track recording cars, perform automated inspections of railway tracks to measure and monitor their physical condition, ensuring safety and operational efficiency by detecting defects, wear, and potential issues with parameters like alignment, curvature, and cross-level. They use various sensors, lasers, and cameras to collect detailed data, which is then analyzed by teams to identify necessa

In September of 1984, the First Track Geometry Car (TGC1) entered service. TGC’s have the capability to measure track alignment, and spot existing and potential track problems. They are able to measure various track conditions upwards of six times a year on each line and are equipped with sensors to measure alignment, curvature, warp, track gauge, and numerous other rail conditions. As the cars inspect the rails, data is automatically uploaded to a management system to create a profile for that

Welcome aboard the Track Geometry Car! We're giving you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the team and train that keeps your ride on the rails safe and reliable. 🛤️Have you seen the TGC out in the wild? Let us know! | Metropolitan Transportation Authority - MTA
