Rail Yard Security Solutions
Railyards have important security concerns because they handle valuable goods and play a critical role in transportation. Theft is a major issue, with criminals targeting both the cargo and rail equipment. This not only can cause financial losses but also supply chain disruptions.
Trespassing and vandalism, including graffiti and damage to rail cars, can be costly to repair and disrupt operations. Monitoring large, remote areas like railyards can be difficult, which increases the chances of criminal activity going undetected.
Live Video Monitoring for Rail Yards
Stealth Monitoring’s customized video surveillance solutions work in real time and are designed to catch events as they happen. We watch when there is activity, not relying on motion sensors, using a combination of advanced technology and human intelligence that can automatically flag unusual activity.
This constant vigilance not only helps deter incidents before they occur but also provides valuable evidence in the event of a security breach. Our proactive solutions are typically 25-60% more cost-effective than traditional security guards and provide high-quality, effective security while minimizing liability.

Security Concerns
Security Guards
Many railyards rely on security guards to monitor their property, but they can be expensive, costing tens of thousands of dollars a month. Additionally, there are other constraining factors involved with guards including inadequate training, limited coverage, as well as a lack of confidence in their ability to do the job they were hired to do. With Stealth’s live video monitoring solution, you get a team of operators to watch your cameras, so you can rest assured that your property is always being watched by trustworthy, trained professionals.
Vandalism
Graffiti and damage to rail cars and infrastructure can be costly to repair and delay operations. This not only can be expensive but also affects the safety and appearance of the railyard.
Trespassing
Unauthorized entry into railyards is a serious risk. Intruders can tamper with cargo and equipment, which may lead to safety breaches and product loss. Securing rail yards against trespassing is particularly challenging due to their large and often remote locations.
Security Expenses
Drive-by patrol services are rarely on-site and can be easily bypassed. Other camera systems that are not being watched will not produce the same results as Stealth’s proven proactive solution.
Theft
Railyards are often targeted by thieves who are after valuable cargo and rail equipment. Significant financial losses and supply chain disruptions can affect overall operations.
Cargo Tampering
Tampering with cargo can lead to product loss, contamination, and customer dissatisfaction. Customers expect transportation companies to be trustworthy and reliable and these actions can damage that trust.
