Techniques describe include a system for detecting oxidation of a rail of a track. The system includes a first pair of sensors configured to detect a first portion of a current through the rail of the track and a second pair of sensors configured to detect a second portion of the current through the rail of the track. The system includes a controller configured to receive a first signal representing a measurement of the first portion of the current, receive a second signal representing a measurement of the second portion of the current, compare the measurement of the first portion of the current and the measurement of the second portion of the current, determine, based on the comparison, a status of the oxidation, and generate and transmit a signal representing the status of the oxidation.
