Not my area of expertise but in the spirit of innovation they should investigate how autonomous scanning of pipelines take place with deep scanners (pipe pigs)

They could tow a lot of equipment that scans the track, measure bridge deflection, steel wear etc.

If it was a car failure, perhaps more onboarding mesh network for monitoring each car could be implemented to warn when odd noises start or temperatures start to climb on equipment

Maybe look towards Europe and Asia where they have modern and efficient rail transportation as an example. Our rail systems are old and failing.
