Systems and methods for detecting train rail and railcar anomalies are disclosed herein. In an example, detecting anomalies includes: receiving measurements from a sensor array coupled to a railcar in a train; obtaining baseline measurements from the sensor array; obtaining, in near real time, measurements from the sensor array while the railcar is operating; and detecting a railcar anomaly based a comparison between the baseline and operating measurements. In an example, the comparison of baseline and operating measurements includes evaluating, over a sequence of time data points, inertia sensor measurements (such as caused by side to side railcar movement) to detect abnormal railcar oscillation. In further examples, the data indexed to a GPS location is stored in a database, and respective alerts are transmitted or outputted to an output device (such as a display device) when an anomaly is detected based on the collected measurements from the railcars.
