The aim of this paper is to automate various operations related to opening and closing of railway gates in order to minimize the accidents at unmanned railway gates. The train has a RF transmitter attached to it and a RF receiver near the gates which operates the gate automatically . It also identifies unwanted obstruction in the track and gates by ultrasonic sensors . This automatic railway system reduces the waiting time of road passengers at the railway crossings since it will identify the arrival of the train and there by closing the gate when needed as well as reducing accidents.
