Using the 'Pioneer' name on the side of the locomotive, I found this... along with photos similar to this photo. "The Pioneer Mill Company in Lahaina, had a 30 inch gauge railroad to bring the sugar cane to the processing mill. It ran from 1882 until 1952 when trucks took over for the locomotives.... The big engine named “Launiupoko”’ was an 0-4-2T saddle tank loco with an added 4 wheel tender for fuel and additional water capacity. Built by Baldwin in 1900, she was their construction number 18380, and was an oil burner... Besides engine No.3... a smaller 0-4-2T wood burning saddle tank loco, No.1 “Lahaina”. While No.3 was a black with white stripes and lettering, No.1, a Baldwin of the 1880’s, had fancy domes... She carried a large oil burning headlight..."

Apparently both locomotives were later purchased - restored - moved to southern California. Sadly, both were so heavily damaged in a wildland fire that the owner felt restoration impossible. ~~Unknown fate.~~ In this video, two locomotives were brought back to Maui and restored, and are operational; I can't confirm which locomotives they are. youtu.be/En-OyZZQWG8.
