Can you explain your train detector how it works. Also have you looked at the Seeed RFID module ?

Yes, the train detector works by using an accelerometer to detect vibration of a passing train. The device is enclosed in a water resistant case and magnetically attached to the side of a rail. It is rather small, roughly 2"x2"x4". I had considered RFID but decided it would be too expensive and unreliable on the thousands of trains it would need to be placed on. See my the .ppt I posted as well.
