Method and system for locating a railway vehicle in a railway network 2, wherein the railway network comprises track sections 4, bordered by at least two axle counter detection points 6. The position (18,Fig2) of the vehicle is determined on the basis of combining a first (14,Fig2) and second (16,Fig2) set of information, where the first depends on the location of the train and the second on the route travelled and are detected by means of axle counter points 6. The first information may be determined by means of an on-board device of the railroad vehicle and may use satellite navigation such as Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) or Global Positioning system (GPS); the first information may comprise a distance from a reference point which may be recorded using an odometer, speedometer, and/or an acceleration sensor. The second information may comprise track section occupation, last encountered axle counter location, and direction data for the vehicle and could be determined by a landside evaluation unit 10. The final position of the railway vehicle could be determined by either a landside control centre 13 or the on-board evaluation device of the railway vehicle.
