I suspect that the bell was incorporated to warn the bystanders of the danger of the moving train or about to be moving train. Whistle blowing had a detremental effect on the horses and other live stock.

Lights bells and whistles or horns don't seem to be enough to keep some out of harms way. <br />Will
