Additional Description: The locomotive "Pioneer " was manufactured in 1851 and served the line between Hagerstown and Chambersburg. When the Civil War brought heavier, longer trains full of war supplies and soldiers, Pioneer was not strong enough to handle the load and was retired to yard use. The Pennsylvania Railroad donated to the Smithsonian Institution. In 2010, it was delievered for restoration and display to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Museum in Baltimore.
