If the mystery is the precise location, I can think of two ways to research it. First, if the '8' on the engine refers to station number and not engine number, then that should narrow down the geographical range. Second, look in a business directory from the early 1960s for business names starting with 'BER...'

The '8' on the engine I believe does refer to the Engine Co. number becuase Station No. 8 was to organized until 1976. Engine Co. 8 was however housed at Station No.3 during this time period.
