A system and method for detecting and measuring rail and/or track defects may comprise: an array of time-of-flight distance measuring sensors measuring distance to the rail head; wherein the distance measuring sensors are synchronized and the dimensional data therefrom is geo-tagged. A memory stores geo-tagged distance measurement data. Distance measurement data is processed to determine the dimensional data of the rail head including at least the width and the height thereof, for detecting rail wear and rail defects. Rail wear, surface defects, rail structural defects, rail fractures and cracks, and/or a gap in a rail, can be measured and detected.
