Linking farms and sawmills of the
Takaka Valley and the tidal port of
Waitapu at the month of the Takaka
River was a 2'6“ gauge tramway.

In 1880 John Rochfort surveyed the
8½ mile line and construction
commmced in February the next year.
Early in 1882, the tramway was in
Operation with a s mall 0-4-0T
locomotive, named Pioneer, flat top
wagons and a carriage with longitudinal
seats that could hold 7 or 8 people on
each side. The locomotive and rolling
stock were built in Nelson by the
Anchor Shipping and Foundry Co. Ltd.

On 22 December 1903 Pioneer stopped
long enough at the south end of
Commercial Street. Takaka, to be
photographed with a full load of wool.
The wool was to be loaded onto
S.S. Alexander at Waitapu Wharf for
shipment to a Nelson woolstore.
Alexander was a 377 ton ship owned by
Anchor Shipping and Foundry Co. Ltd.

By 1906 the tramway had outlived its
usefulness and was dismantled. In 1910
Pioneer was noted in an Auckland
scrap metal yard having been shipped
there by the same S.S. Alexander.
