A weeding system for a railway weeding vehicle including at least one camera for mounting on a railway vehicle to acquire an image of a portion of a railway track while the railway vehicle is moving. The system also includes a spraying unit to be mounted on the railway vehicle, a control unit to receive images from the camera, generate a weed species detection signal and selectively cause the spraying of a chemical agent on the basis of the weed species detection signal. The control unit executes a training-based algorithm based on a set of reference images labeled to indicate the presence or not of at least one weed species in the images.
