description The railroad industry must continue to strive for an even safer network. One area of emerging collaboration between railroads and railcar owners that can aid in these safety efforts is the investment in innovation, railcar-based telemetry. Making railcars more than a "box on wheels" can convert them from passive pieces of equipment to insight-generating nodes in an interconnected rail network. In the future, railcars outfitted with sensors and communication devices could alert railroads and shippers in real time, when their railcars are breached or damaged. Real-time remote monitoring on railcars has the potential to make these assets even more impactful contributors to a safer railroad environment.
