The present invention concerns a track anomaly detection system and a method for automatically detecting a surface anomaly of a railway track, the system comprising:- a scanning system (11) configured for automatically scanning at least a portion of the track surface, said scanning system (11) comprising a laser emitter (111) and an array (112) of photodiodes (P), wherein the laser emitter is configured for emitting an incident ray towards the track surface according to a predefined angle (θ) and the array (112) of photodiodes (P) is configured for capturing light scattered by the track surface in response to the incident ray (R1);- - a processing system (12) connected to the scanning system (11), said processing system (12) being con-figured for i) detecting an anomaly of the track surface by processing a signal outputted by each photodiode (P) in response to the captured light, ii) for associating to each detected anomaly a position, and iii) for signaling the detected anomaly by sending, for each detected anomaly, a signal configured for encoding said position of the detected anomaly.
