Abstract	This project uses a system of Intelligent Railway Track Damage Identification and Tracking System to assist in the real-time detection of issues on the train tracks. The system will be equipped with a NodeMCU controller and the sensors including an ultrasonic sensor, an accelerator, and a flame sensor fixed on a small motorized car running on the track. The accelerator tracks the vibrations to detect the damaged or uneven sections, the flame sensor scans the area of the fire threats, and the ultrasonic one measures the distance to detect cracks. The gadget is able to raise a buzzer to provide a quick alert to the user when the warning is visible on an LCD display, and a more accurate GPS position is sent to take corrective measures in case of any issues detected. This is a clever and inexpensive solution because it prevents the need to have a human perform inspections on a wide scale, prevents mistakes, and enhances safety on the train
