Train Bell 872 and William E. Warden

[NW Mailing List]

The number 872 cast on the stand is almost certainly the pattern number for that piece.  It would be the same for all locomotives that use that particular stand.

  I have recently found some items that I would like to obtain some additional information and/or advice as to where I might seek more information.  First I have located a bell from an unknown locomotive.  I have attached three photographs of the bell, number 872 on outside top.  As I live near Charlottesville and know that the original owner probably obtained the bell here, could I assume that this is from either a Southern or C & O locomotive?  

   

  The other find are several original photographs of steam locomotives and trains signed by William E. Warden.  The photos that I have are Southern and C & O.  I have been able to do some research online and have found some information about him, but I wonder if there is anyone on the list who knew him and is familiar with his books and photos?

   

  I would greatly appreciate any help or comments from the list.
