A predictive maintenance system for determining when an item of equipment on a rail car is due for servicing. A server is configured to receive run data relating to a train and a database is associated with the server to maintain identifying information about the rail car, status information about an item of equipment, the date when the item of equipment will likely be due for servicing, and the current location of the rail car. The service date is calculated from the run data by estimating the amount of wear that likely has occurred based on the run data. The estimated amount of wear may then be used to determine the amount of wear remaining and the date when the equipment will likely reach its lifespan based on estimated use to date and the rate of usage.
