Abstract: A track receiver is located on-board a locomotive for receiving a first magnetic field produced in response to a cab signal carrier transmitted through a rail on which the locomotive is carried. The track receiver is oriented so that a second magnetic field produced during operation of a traction motor of the locomotive propagates substantially perpendicular to an axis of sensitivity of the track receiver, and is oriented so that the first magnetic field propagates parallel to the axis of sensitivity of the track receiver.
