A system (20, 70) and method (FIG. 9, FIG. 10) for detecting buckled rail (18) and for predicting a risk (74) for rail buckling is disclosed. The method may comprise receiving data from a camera (22) mounted on locomotive (24) traveling on the railroad track (10). The data may include images (58) of the buckled rail (18) and dimensions of the buckled rail (18) when the camera (22) detects the buckled rail (18). The data may further include images (82) of the ballast (16) and condition of the ballast (16). The method may further comprise receiving data from a thermal camera (72) mounted to the locomotive (24) indicating the temperature of the rails (12). The method may further comprise transmitting an alarm signal (38) to a display interface (40) of a remote unit (42) if the dimensions of the buckled rail (18) meet a predetermined threshold, and predicting a risk for rail buckling based at least on the temperature of the rails (12) and the condition of the ballast (16).
