Short summary
Rockfalls present a hazard to railways in mountainous terrain. 3-D remote monitoring data can be used to identify events that occurred between data collections. Using a case study from British Columbia, we present a method combining 3-D rockfall event data with spatial rockfall simulations to provide a refined estimate of the frequency of rockfalls presenting a direct hazard to passing trains and railway infrastructure, which is often less than the total number of rockfalls that occurred.
