About 10 yrs ago, I worked for a company that made a transponder that
mounted on the bottom of a locomotive and communicated with an RFID
r/w tag that was mounted on the sleeper between the rails.
The transponder had a low freq - 125 KHz, loop that sent power to the
tag, which woke up and converted the power to DC, approx. 15mw to power
the tag. Data communications took place at 2.4GHz. I forget if they
went to England or France, but they may still be in use today.
