A track-data verification vehicle and method for verifying positive train control (PTC) track data. The vehicle includes a 360° camera and a precision positioning system co-located on a vertical axis on the vehicle. The 360° camera provides a video image with indicators that are useable to align an asset with the positioning system. A second video camera is positioned interior to the vehicle to capture an image of a monitor associated with a train management control (TMC) unit and of operator inputs to the TMC unit; the TMC unit executes a PTC track-data verification application. The process of verifying asset locations is thus recorded and can be reviewed and approved by a Federal Railroad Administration representative without requiring the representative to be physically present within the vehicle during track-data verification.
