Iver Tranes	General	Is that a bell mounted in the nose?	1/9/2014 11:12:11 AM

Chuck Zeiler	General	Yes that is the bell in the nose, the C&NW preferred location. The DT&I also had some locomotives so equipped. I believe the reason was to prevent fouling with snow and ice in the winter.	1/9/2014 1:43:17 PM
