A monitoring sensor rail bracket 8 comprising a mechanism which moves a component to protect a reflective surface 4 of a monitoring rail sensor; and a fan 9 activating and powering the mechanism by using a flow of air created by a passing train. The mechanism may protect the reflective surface by moving a prism of the sensor so that the reflective surface is not facing the coming train; or by moving a physical cover in front of the reflective surface. The mechanism may transfer the power from the fan by using an arrangement of cogs (14, 15, figure 5). The mechanism may have a rubber band (11 figure 5) attached which allows for the prism or cover to return to the original position once the train has passed. This allows an increase in the time before the sensor has to be clean of dirt and reduces the necessity of staff attendance on the track for maintenance purposes.
