A method of installing/verifying positive train control components begins by entering component details into a data entry screen (e.g., a component type; serial number; name of the installer; train line name; a location description). A rough installation location is determined, and the component is installed. A GPS receiver determines the exact location of the installed component, which is entered with the component details. Photographs of the installed component are attached thereto. An installation icon for the installed component is overlaid on a digital map at the determined GPS location. Toggling the installation icon causes displaying of the data. An inspector physically verifies the entered details and GPS location of the installed component using a verification screen, and a third-party GPS receiver. When the two GPS obtained positions are within a threshold amount, and the details are correct, the inspector toggles a radio button confirming the data, which is otherwise corrected.
