A combination of existing computer sound recognition technology, listening devices and railway communication appliances that, when combined with the sound or vibration transmission properties of a railway's rail, will aid in the immediate detection and location of rockslides, washouts, railway rolling stock anomalies, like shelled or flatspotted wheels or derailed cars. It would also detect when rolling stock unintentionally started to move instead of the delay associated with waiting for it to pass the next rail electrical sensor or insulated joint. The railway communication system would then be used to aid in stopping a train short of any suspected hazard.
