This system pertains to the use of surveillance with intelligent safety procedures software to determine the safety of the transportation route, the safety of the train and train cars, monitoring for abnormal patterns of heat, pollution, monitoring for potential collision dangers, and monitoring for vandalism and graffiti activities. The system is able to gather high-resolution video from the train cars, and provide video feeds to federal emergency management and/or the local / province police based on the type of activity detected, and activate a dispatch of the appropriate law enforcement needed to stop the unwanted activities.
