In one embodiment, a method includes identifying, by an image detection tool (150,180), a tank (170a, 170b) within an image of a railway environment (120) and identifying, by the image detection tool, a railroad track (130a, 130b) within the image of the railway environment. The method also includes determining, by the image detection tool, a distance between the tank and the railroad track and comparing, by the image detection tool, the distance between the tank and the railroad track to a predetermined threshold distance. The method further includes determining, by the image detection tool, that the tank presents a hazard to the railway environment in response to comparing the distance between the tank and the railroad track to the predetermined threshold distance.
