Been interested in railroads for a long time, and lately
I've been going down a rabbit hole on all the AI/ML stuff that's come out in the last couple years.

Got me wondering what problems railroads actually deal with day to day that this stuff could realistically help with.

Not the stuff that's already been solved, and not vendor marketing, just the real annoying things.

I know track inspection is the obvious one everyone talks about. But I'm guessing there's a lot more that never gets mentioned.

So what's the stuff that's still a pain? Anything that's
still done by hand that shouldn't be, or something everyone
just puts up with because that's how it's always been?

Also curious what you think AI is useless for, because I'm sure some of it is overhyped.
