First locomotive thru the Summit Tunnel?

Early Danforth locomotive bell

From: "Kyle Wyatt" kylekwyatt@gmail.com

[Came] across photos of an early (1860's) Danforth locomotive bell, apparently held by the Unadilla Valley Historical Society, ... Mt. Upton in upstate New York.

Believe it is the same style that was originally on the C. P. Huntington, and many contemporary Danforth and Danforth-Cooke locos.
