The invention relates to a method for locating a rail vehicle (110) along a rail route (100), along which a waveguide (50) is laid. According to the method, temporally successive electromagnetic pulses (Pin) are fed into the waveguide (50) and, for each emitted pulse, at least one back-scattering pattern (Rm1, Rm2, Rm3) generated by vehicle-induced back-scattering of the electromagnetic pulse is received and evaluated.; According to the invention, the waveguide (50) has at least one locating section (51-55) along the rail route (100), in which locating section the vibration sensitivity of the waveguide (50) and/or the vibration acting on the waveguide (50) is greater or less than outside the locating section (51-55), the amplitude of the received back-scattering pattern (Rm1, Rm2, Rm3) is evaluated and a location signal (So) is generated if the amplitude of the received back-scattering pattern (Rm1, Rm2, Rm3) increases or decreases over the course of time.
