In Strasburg Pa near Lancaster is a tourist steam operation that has been in good quality work over the years. One of the first lessons as a child was: 1- dont touch the engine. It's hot. 2- When that bell starts ringing after the two short blasts of the whistle get back away from the train and stay back. The engine can sit and make steam all day with people all around it during watering, coaling waiting for departure etc but when that Bell starts a ringing after the two whistle blasts everyone clears the tracks. When you are at a station in the old steam days a oncoming locomotive would blast the whistle one long time to announce it's presence while approaching the station if you DONT hear the bell it does not intend to stop... if you hear the bell during it's approach then that is the train who will stop at your station.
