Almost all modern locomotives / EMUs use some sort of regen braking. Sounds like a typical EMI issue. New rolling stocks should be
designed not to cause disruption to existing electronics.
On French high speed rails, audio frequency, jointless track circuits (UM71/UM2000) providing train detection and cab carrier frequencies up to 2600Hz are used. But even AF track circuits can be victims of EMI. When MARTA put their first chopper-based MUs in service in 1980s, it was found that their traction return currents caused track relays to falsely energize. GRS developed the "dual code AF track circit" as a remedy.
