About the Item

Brass locomotive bell complete with original cast iron yoke and cast iron mounting base to go on the engine. 24"H x 24" x 15". These bells were first introduced in the mid-19th century and were used in the locomotives that ran on steam engines. These bells were powered by steam and were operated manually by the train crew. Steam train bells were typically mounted on the top of the locomotive and had a distinctive sound that could be heard from far away.
