Claim 0:
1. A rail infrastructure monitoring system comprising;
a control unit;
a plurality of wagon master modules;
a plurality of sensor modules configured to communicate wirelessly with a wagon master module, wherein each sensor module is associated with a respective wagon of a train on a track, each sensor module including one or more sensors, the sensor modules comprising:
a processor; and
one or a plurality of sensors adapted to measure one or more sensor data values indicative of a condition of a portion of the track infrastructure and/or the wagon, the sensors further adapted for inputting the sensor data values to the processor; and

a train master unit;
wherein the processor is adapted to determine whether the measured sensor data values from the sensors is within a threshold range thereof and respond to a determination that the measured sensor data values are outside the threshold range by generating and sending an alert signal to a wagon master module, and wherein the wagon master module sends the alert signal to the train master unit.
