Methods and systems for detecting and measuring physical conditions of a railroad track based on image-based distance measurements are provided. In embodiments, at least one object associated with a condition of a railroad track is detected in at least one image. A first point and a second point on the at least one object is detected. A pixel distance between the first point and the second point is measured, and a physical distance-based measurement of the condition of the railroad track is determined, using a conversion model, based on the pixel distance between the first point and the second point. An alert is generated when the physical distance-based measurement of the condition of the railroad track exceeds a predetermined threshold.
