RailWatch is the first layer of the grain market you can actually see. We track movement railside and deliver it as structured data you can trade and plan with.

The fastest way to see grain flows in motion.

Move Faster Than They Can Follow.

Checkpoints

Solar/LTE cameras placed on the lines that matter most.

Solar-powered LTE cameras deployed directly on the lines you care about. No hookups or maintenance on your end. Live coverage of key grain corridors with options for exclusive access.

Car ID Tracking

Arrivals and dwell times before anyone else knows

Every listed railcar is logged once per day across all checkpoints. You get counts, composition, and manifests with audited accuracy for a reliable read on actual movement.

Data Delivery

Clean signals in the format you already use

Choose your format: API, Excel, or dashboard. Real-time alerts plug into your workflow and give you the signals you need without the noise.

Get in touch

What services do you offer?

A nationwide network of solar/LTE trackside cameras that detect trains, count and classify railcars, read listed car IDs, determine direction of travel, and forecast arrivals. Data is delivered by API, Excel, or dashboard with checkpoint-level alerts.

What’s your typical timeline?

We propose sites, confirm signal and sightlines, deploy hardware, then QA reads and alerts. Small pilots often go live quickly; larger corridors roll out in stages.

Can you monitor a specific rail line?

Yes. If we don’t already cover that line, we’ll deploy a solar-powered camera at your requested spot.

Do you cover more than just grain?

Yes. While grain is our focus, the cameras detect and count every railcar type, from crude oil tankers to intermodal containers. If it rolls past the lens, it gets logged.

Do you integrate with my existing tools?

Yes. CropSafe data can be delivered by API, Excel feed, or our own dashboard. Most customers plug the API straight into their trading, logistics, or BI tools so it shows up where they already work.

Can I get historical data, as well as live?

Both. Every train we detect is logged, counts, types, timestamps, and IDs. You can access past data alongside live movements, making it easy to compare current flows with historical patterns.
