A catenary safety monitoring system for a catenary system that includes an overhead wire, a support pole supporting an end of the overhead wire and a counterweight attached to the end of the overhead wire and suspended by the support pole. The catenary safety monitoring system includes a temperature sensor for detecting an ambient temperature of the catenary system, a position sensor for detecting a position of the counterweight and an electronic controller in communication with the temperature sensor and the position sensor. The electronic controller is programmed to compare a position of the counterweight detected with the position sensor with a predicted position of the counterweight determined by the electronic controller using an ambient temperature detected by the temperature sensor. A message transmitter is also in communication with the electronic controller and the electronic controller is also programmed to provide a warning to a user via the message transmitter, such as by text or email, if the detected position of the counterweight is not within a predetermined percentage of the predicted position.
