A system may include a data acquisition hub connected to databases and sensors associated with locomotives, systems, or components of a train and configured to acquire real-time and historical configuration, structural, and operational data in association with inputs derived from real time and historical contextual data relating to a plurality of trains. The system may include a virtual system modeling engine configured to receive results of a non-destructive evaluation of a train component, simulate in-train forces, determine a predicted time of failure for the train component based on an evaluation of stresses that have already been applied to the component and expected future stresses, and implement repair, replacement, or operational protocols for the train component before or at a repair facility that will be reached by the train ahead of a predetermined minimum threshold time period before the predicted time of failure.
