An aerial system control network (2500), an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system (2400), and a method (2600) provide for inspecting railroad assets using a UAV (2420). The aerial system control network includes a plurality of towers (2510, 2515) and a ground control system (2520) connected to the plurality of communication towers. The ground control system transmits, via the plurality of communication towers, a flight plan including a rail system (100) and a flight path (1010); receives, via the plurality of communication towers, data while the UAV is in monitoring the rail system; detects an interference (1500, 1501, 1502) along the flight path based on the received data, and adjusts the flight plan based on the interference.
