April 20, 2020 - CSXT G213 passes CSXT 6025 heading up Geometry Inspection train W001-20 as they inspect track two, just south of Anaconda at Robards, Kentucky on the Henderson Subdivision. On the rear of the trains is the actual track geometry car (also known as a track recording car) which is an automated track inspection vehicle. It used to test several geometric parameters of the track without obstructing normal railroad operations. Some of the parameters generally measured include position, curvature, alignment of the track, smoothness, and the cross level of the two rails. It uses a variety of sensors, measuring systems, and data management systems to create a profile of the track being inspected.
