Another "don't believe everything you read" A few years someone blew up this photograph and reveled that is this South Park locomotive is actually the "
Lake City / 8 and not the
Leadville / 5. Anyhow a guess to the question could be that the extra "bell" is a signal bell or gong attached by cord that runs the length of a passenger train with the purpose for the conductor to communicate with the engineer? I never noticed that before. Good eye.
