1. A system for identifying and auditing railroad assets, comprising:
a memory having a database storing a plurality of railroad data, engines, and models; and
a processor operably coupled to the memory and capable of executing machine-readable instructions to perform program steps, the program steps including:
a data collection engine configured to collect sensor data from a sensor disposed on a vehicle to generate a spatial model of a railroad environment;
a machine learning module configured to automatically identify railroad assets,
wherein the data collection engine instantiates the machine learning module to extract railroad assets from the sensor data, and
wherein the machine learning module is configured to compare the identified railroad assets to the database to audit the presence and location of railroad assets within the environment captured by the sensor.
