Karl - Your M-4-A bell is a long ways from Breardstown/Centralia/Galesburg
mounted out there in your California garden! It looks just like my two O-5-A
bells. I'll trade you some images of mine over the weekend if I don't get side
tracked.... I'm attaching another image of 6324, this time taken at Centralia,
IL, in May of 1952. Just think, some 10 years later NWS&W had turned this
magnificent machine into nails! Best Regards - Louis

- Our Dads certainly would've known each other as Q officials. I well remember
the Choo-Choo Specials. That's a good subject for a future article in the
BRHS Bulletin. So the front mount bell off Class M-4-A No. 6324 ended-up with
your Dad while the winged Pyle National headlight with its heavy smoke
box mounting bracket ended-up with my Dad. Small world it is.... Did you
pick-up the bell at Eola? That's where Dad and I took possession of the
headlight. Plus, with your bell, is the road number deeply cut into the
top to identify it during shoppings? I also have front mount bells off Class
O-5-A locomotives 5615 and 5624 and their road numbers are cut deeply into the
bell tops. Both my bells are blocked-up on the carpet in my den and
they will ring, but they're really LOUD like your's in the backyard. It would
be nice if someday your bell and my headlight could be reunited. Wonder what
happened to the whistle? I'm attaching a color image of 6324 taken on May 16,
1955 in Centralia, IL, near the end of its service life. You can clearly see
your bell and my headlight on the locomotive. May be the Mars light
ended-up on an ex-GTW 0-8-0 at NWS&W. Thanks for reaching out to me.
Best Regards - Louis

Hi Luis
Just found this page. My Dad was with
Burlington from 45-66. Ended his career as gen passenger manager.
He was also over the choo-choo steam excursions with the
last two units. You know the ones. Anyway, he wound up with
the engine bell from the 6324 which we had in our backyard
when I was a kid and is mounted in my backyard for my kids
today. I noticed that you had a few parts from the 6324 as
well. Neither of us would probably ever want to part with
these jems but it sure would've been cool if they were in the same
place again. Anyway nice to know those parts are still out there.
