The bell is used only on GE Locomotive and not the rest of the Engine in Thailand. It is not required but the crew use it to warn people of the moving Engine, it's better to do that than to hold on to the whistle switch.
Umm, Dude do you know what you are talking about? There's no rope or anyone pulling anything, it's electronic. It's a switch that turn on and off for the bell. This is not a steam locomotive. LOL

Well, when he said "people" he meant the yard crew ...... just in case. Folks don't really listen to any kind of bell in Thailand to get out of the way. By the way, when the train hits something, it is always right and no compensation is paid to any idiots that walked into the track w/o looking...... that's Thailand for you.
Well I know it's a GE locomotive mostly due to that Bell, but there's that GE logo at the bottom of the cab window on the side. But it's an interesting locomotive.

That is a crisp clear bell sound, My favorite type. I wouldn't think there would be bells overseas, I thought that they were only on US Trains.

Okay, at least it's not one of those horrible sounding Electroic Bells.
