A method for surveillance of a railroad track includes equipping rail vehicles which run on the railroad track with a recording unit which takes images of the railroad track or the surroundings thereof. The images are saved and automatically processed or analyzed for specific incidents by using image detection procedures. If such an incident is detected, an action can be executed, an alarm triggered or a police investigation initiated. At the same time, it is advantageous that a flexible surveillance of the railroad track and effective procedures to prevent theft and damage along the railroad track can be achieved by using inexpensive resources. The images can also be transmitted to a central location and monitored there (e.g. continuously) by operators. A rail vehicle, an apparatus for surveillance of a railroad track and a system having a rail vehicle and a central unit are also provided.
