A rail testing system comprises a proximal mobile track system and a distal mobile track system. Each of the proximal mobile track system and the distal mobile track system are movable in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction. A carriage is movably coupled to the proximal mobile track system and the distal mobile track system. The system has a sensor pod comprising a roller search unit. The sensor pod is configured to lock to the carriage for testing of a rail. The system includes a sensor array comprising time of flight sensors. The sensor array is usable to maintain an alignment of the roller search unit with the rail.
