A system for determining a center of gravity (COG) of a commodity of a railcar comprises a plurality of sensors and a computing device. At least a first sensor from the plurality of sensors is disposed on a first center plate of the railcar. At least a second sensor from the plurality of sensors is disposed on a second center plate of the railcar. Each sensor is configured to determine a change in force imposed on the sensor based on a change in micro strain on the sensor. The computing device receives a plurality of force values from the plurality of sensors. The computing device determines a weight of the railcar body and commodity by combining the received force values. The computing device determines the COG of the railcar body and commodity based at least on the plurality of force values and the weight of the railcar.
