Help! Where Does This Wire Go On My 6-19306 Conventional RS-3? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I opened the shell on my Erie Lackawanna 6-18906 RS-3 engine (conventional, two can motors), and there is a loose wire! I have no idea where this should be attached, but it appears to have come loose from one of the wire nuts. Can you help me? On the photo, you can see the light blue wire (marked with the red arrow) is detached. I traced this wire, and it comes from the copper strip underneath that is connected to the roller pick-up. There is another light blue wire (marked with the green arrow), that seems to be the counterpart, coming from the roller pick-up on the other end of the engine. Would the loose wire join into the same wire nut with this "counterpart"? If not where would it go? I would appreciate your assistance.

That is exactly where it came from.
