A system (100) and a method (200) for localizing a railway vehicle (1) traveling on a railway line (10), wherein one or more sensors (110) provide signals suitable for calculating a position (P) of the railway vehicle (1) along the railway line (10), the one or more sensors (110) comprising at least one ground penetrating radar (111). An imager system (120) comprises at least one camera (121) which is mounted on-board of the railway vehicle (1) and is adapted to capture image data of position markers (4) located along the railway line (1), and an image processor (125) which receives the image data captured and compare them with reference pre-stored image data related to the position markers (4) in order to identify a position marker (4) along the railway line (10) where the railway vehicle (1) is travelling. A processing unit (140) is arranged to calculate the actual position (Pa) of the railway vehicle (1) along the railway line (10) based on one or more of an identified position marker (4) and of the signals received from said one or more sensors (110). The invention also relates to a railway vehicle (1) comprising a localizing system (100) installed on board.
