Bell 5-ton Steam Driven
Geared Locomotive of Saddle Tank and Open Cab Type.
The Bell Locomotive Works, Bloomsburg,
Pa., has been reorganized and placed under new management. The
present board of directors consists of A. B. Hartman, president; E.
S. Stackhouse, vice president; W. R. Kocher, treasurer; R. F. Ensminger, secretary, and H. K. Stokes. The present management has
adopted a policy whereby responsible concerns or individuals may
take the product on 30 to 60 days' trial, at the end of which
period, if the customer is not entirely satisfied the locomotive may
be returned without cost to him. The company builds both steam and
gasoline industrial locomotives. The steam locomotive uses oil
exclusively for firing, and any grade of oil may be used. It is of a
geared type, making it especially adaptable for steep grades, long
and heavy pulls. The engine runs in an oil tight dust proof case and
requires practically no attention. This type of locomotive is built
in sizes 2
½ to 15 ton. The gasoline locomotive has a well known
Buda motor for motive power and has incorporated in it all the best
features known to the present day in this type of locomotive. They
have specialized in two sizes, 3 and 6 ton, which are built for any
gage tracks; special sizes are built when customer so desires. At
the present time the State Highway Department of Pennsylvania has
five 7-ton steam driven locomotives in operation in its road
construction work at Trout Run, Pa. These are used to haul the batch
boxes containing cement, sand and stone to the mixer.*****
