A monitoring system for a rail freight wagon 2, 3, 4, in which an axle end generator 5 is provided on an axle of the freight wagon to provide an electrical supply to a mechatronic brake valve 6 for controlling brake pressures to the axle. The system further comprises a wheel speed sensor and a brake pressure sensor and a gateway configured to transmit the data from the sensors off of the freight wagon. The mechatronic valve of the axle monitoring system enables brake pressure to be released when an axle locks to prevent wheel slide. This reduces the incidence of wheel flats and extends the life of the wheels and axles. The system may include a communication system and a GPS system.
