A system and methods for track inspection are discussed herein. A pair of cameras of a track profile sensor assembly can be positioned with a pair of lenses oriented toward a track. The track profile sensor assembly can be enclosed within a weather-resistant structure. An inertial measurement unit of the track profile sensor assembly can detect motion data associated with a locomotive. A geospatial position and orientation circuit can determine a current location of the locomotive. The pair of cameras can capture images of the track. A track geometry evaluator can determine a current track profile based on the captured images, the motion data associated with the locomotive, and the current location.
