Here is another article about the fires.

This one has a few nice (but irrelevant) photos. I wonder how old is the photo of the haystacks? I went out hunting for them about 10 years ago, and found plenty of sites with remains, but I don't recall any quite so distinctly tall.
As for the location of Dinah, I looked at my old pix and by 2020 the engine and cars were to be found in the updated outdoor display at the Borax Museum. If you've not seen this, it is worth a stop. All the big stuff is nicely arrayed in tows outside where you can just walk around and look at it.
In any case, where the fire occurred was not out front by the road in the location it had been in for many many years.
