The other two were Halifax and Pictou. They were similar to three locos supplied by Timothy Hackworth to the Albion Coal Company in Nova Scotia in 1838.

Rayne and Burn were agents and wagon builders in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, who subcontracted locomotive orders. They supplied 3 x 0-6-0s to the General Mining Association railways in Nova Scotia. One went to the Acadia Coal Company at Stellarton in 1853 and was named Albion.

Rayne & Burn did not build locos and in any case closed down in 1848. Best guess is Hackworth about 1849. Data is vague. .
