I'll make some inquires to learn more about the bell and post further information as I learn it.

Sounds a bit different then the standard German "air gong" in pitch and speed?
Also, the sister of this loco is currently for sale in Tennessee.

It's German. I was told by one of the engineers that the bell was from a diesel switcher and installed when they [Midwest Central] got it.
Neat little engine.
