The first photo here shows how Doug found Long-Bell #1008 on February 27, 1952 at the Long-Bell shops at Ryderwood, Washington.
The next photo also taken by Doug shows her as Pickering Lumber Corp. #8 after her complete rebuild at Standard, California on January 26, 1953.
Finally, I have attached a photo of Doug with some of his railfan buddies on a trip they to to the SP Modoc Line in the 1940's. Doug is standing in front of the semaphore with Guy Dunscomb on his left and Al Phelps on his right.
My tribute to my old friend and mentor Doug is posted on Trainorders.
