The Córas Iompair Éireann 601 Class locomotives were built in 1956-1957, by Motorenfabrik Deutz at Cologne, Germany. They were 3 small shunting locomotives (601,602,603) of B wheel arrangement and were fitted with a Deutz F/A8L 714 engine of 130hp, with Voith hydraulic transmission. They weighed only 18 tons and had a maximum speed of 20mph. They were withdrawn from service between 1965 and 1972, and one of these locomotives, number G601, has been preserved by the Irish Traction Group and is based at Carrick-on-Suir.
