From around 1840 onward, a bell was standard issue on steam locomotives traversing the American countryside. The bell was meant to alert people and animals (like the much-maligned bison) of an approaching train. On the open plains, where clearance wasn’t an issue, the bell would be mounted to the top of the boiler or smokebox. If the train were outfitted for tighter quarters and rails, the bell could be repositioned to the front of the locomotive, tucked alongside the cab, or stashed beneath the running board.
