==History== They were intended for mixed traffic duties, hauling both freight and passenger trains. When they were first introduced, they were used on some of the express passenger duties between [[Dublin]] and [[Cork (city)|Cork]]. However, with the arrival of production diesel locomotives (the [[CIÉ 001 Class|001]] and [[CIÉ 101 Class|101]] Classes) from 1955, these two locomotives were used more for freight work, mostly in the area around Dublin. They suffered from a recurring brake fault and following a serious incident in August 1971 when 114 ran away while working a goods train, both locomotives were withdrawn for modifications to be made to their brakes. In fact, 114 was never reinstated and 113 only worked for a few months at the end of 1974 before it too was stored again. Both were then used at Inchicore Works as part of a sound barrier with 101 Class locomotives. B113 was presented to the [[Ulster Folk and Transport Museum]] in May 2011, but 114 was scrapped in March 1995.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.derbysulzers.com/cie.html|title=CIE 113 - 114 (1100 - 1101)|website=derbysulzers|date=2004-05-12|access-date=2006-03-24}}</ref>
