TRACKLOGTrack inspections for shortline railroads
Track inspections, field observations, and repair records—connected from the iPad to the office. TrackLog helps shortline railroad teams organize inspections, document defects, and follow repairs through to signed closeout.

From the first observation to the final report,
iPad app + web portal
Keep the field record connected to the people who review inspections and follow up on repairs.
01 / On the iPad
Enter inspections, document defects, and add photos and notes with track-location context. Keep working in the field, then sync when connected.
02 / In the office
Use the portal to review inspection records, see due status, and follow defects through repair. Produce reports from the signed inspection history.
What TrackLog does
Know what was inspected, where a finding was recorded, and what happened next.
Automatic milepost uses your mapped subdivision and GPS position. Record findings at the source, with a manual milepost option when needed.
Part 213 defect routing keeps qualifying findings in FRA defect records. Routine maintenance notes stay separate from the FRA inspection report.
Generate FRA inspection PDFs from signed records. Keep internal maintenance observations separate from the regulatory record.
Review inspection due status from configured assets, schedules, and inspection history in the office portal.
Record the remedial action and sign the closeout. The repair history stays connected without rewriting the original signed inspection.
Log photos, maintenance notes, and GPS-tagged field observations so the next review has more than a line in a notebook.
Designed for the right information
Keep FRA defects visible for follow-up while retaining maintenance notes for your own planning. When a repair is complete, add a signed closeout without changing the original signed inspection.
TrackLog supports recordkeeping; it does not replace qualified inspection, required remedial action, or the railroad’s compliance responsibilities.

Select inspection records and generate an FRA inspection PDF for review and sharing.
Built by a roadmaster
TrackLog brings a roadmaster’s perspective to inspection recordkeeping: capture a useful record in the field, find it when you need it, and keep the repair history with the finding.

The native iPad app supports field inspections and observations. The web portal gives your team a browser-based place to review assets, inspection records, defects, and reports in the office.
The iPad app supports offline field work. Sign in and sync the information you need before heading out, then reconnect to upload your records. Check that syncing has completed before relying on the office copy.
Start with a demo of your inspection workflow. We can discuss the assets, subdivisions, users, and field devices you need, along with setup and training requirements, before you decide to move forward.
Yes. The portal generates FRA inspection PDFs from selected signed inspection records. Maintenance notes remain separate. If you need another export format or an existing-record import, bring an example to the demo so we can confirm what is supported.
Email info@rrtracklog.com to discuss TrackLog or a support question. We can review your support needs during the demo; coverage and response expectations should be confirmed before you start.
