Bryan - Often, but not always, the Q incised the road number of the steam locomotive on the top of the brass or bronze bell.  If there's a number, then it wouldn't be any problem at all to ID the locomotive - Louis

All,

We received the following message to the BRHS Facebook page. Any ideas?

Good afternoon fellow Burlington fans. I'm trying to find info on the disposition on the last steam engine to switch out Mt. Morris Ill. I have located a brass bell believed to have been on that engine, fondly referred to as the "dinky". I believe Henry Fruit from Franklin Grove may have been the last engineer of the old steamer and may have acquired the bell. Any info on the bell or the locomotive would be very helpful. Thanks! - Jerry Stauffer
