131.jpg (18169 bytes)

In 1960 General Motors, La Grange, Illinois, built the 950hp CIE 121 class locomotive. This locomotive is usually coupled back-to-back in pairs. For many years these engines were the mainstay of railway service in the West of Ireland hauling both passenger and freight trains. The success of this class started a long and fruitful relationship between Irish railways and General Motors. In this photo we see 131 working an outer-suburban push-pull service at Drogheda. (August 1993)
