The [[Córas Iompair Éireann]] '''201 Class''' was a class of 34 diesel electric locomotives manufactured by [[Metropolitan-Vickers]] at their Dukinfield Works in [[Manchester]]. They were a smaller, lighter and less powerful version of the [[CIÉ 001 Class|001 Class]] and were originally intended for branch line passenger and freight (mixed traffic) duties. They were introduced in 1956 and, although their duties changed over the years, were in regular service on the Irish railway network until the mid-1980s. Six were sold to [[Northern Ireland Railways]] (NIR) in 1986.
