Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 19, p 2. Works numbers were 13774 in September 1893, 13906 in January 1894, 14242 in March 1895, 18370 in November 1900, and 19691 in November 1901
Little wood-burning tender engines used on the W L Bass family's sugar-plantation railroad on the island of Hispaniola. The second in the class was named Pioneer - likely enough - but the first one's name of Ouija (literally "Yes" in French and German and the name of a method for contacting the dead through the manipulation of a planchette) is a little harder to figure.
A year later, the Bartram Brothers came back to Baldwin for 3 more locomotives produced to the same design. Their names were Alexander, Johnson, and Boston and their deliveries came over a 6-year period.
