Summary

Description
English: The locomotive with the name 'Pioneer' was one of two construction engines ordered by J. & A. Overend from the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia. Both locomotives were shipped from the USA in July 1879 to Brisbane. 'Pioneer' was used on Overend's contract for construction of Section 1 of the Bundaberg Railway. In November 1881 it is recorded as being used by contractor Bashford on construction of the Sandgate line, then back to Bundaberg in 1883. In 1885 it was working on the Western Railway construction between Roma and Mitchell, where this photo was taken. John Robb used it for his contract on the Cairns Range. It was then used by contractors McKenzie & Sutherland for construction of the third section of the Cairns Railway after which it was sold to the Chillagoe Mines and Railway Company and used on the construction of the Chillagoe Railway from Mareeba. It remained a unit of the Chillagoe Company's fleet of locomotives until 1919 when it was taken over by the Queensland Railways who numbered it 52 and classed it B14, being used for shunting at Townsville. It was withdrawn from service in August 1927.
