A railway machine comprising a first electrical traction motor, a first wheel assembly, a first gear assembly and a controller module is disclosed. The first gear assembly may include a first pinion gear rotatably engaged with a drive shaft of the first electrical traction motor. The first gear assembly may further include a first driven gear that may be rotatably engaged with the first pinion gear and also operatively coupled to the first wheel assembly. The controller module may observe a plurality of railway machine operating conditions, execute program instructions while the railway machine is being operated and may determine whether the first pinion gear is decoupled from the drive shaft of the first electrical traction motor.
