This is one of the two ex-BR 30-ton steam breakdown cranes provided to CIE (Córas Iompair Éireann) in 1973 and scrapped in 2009. Built by Cowans Sheldon in 1961 to standard gauge, they were re-gauged to 5' 3" at CIE's Inchicore depot in County Dublin.

The BR number of this crane was RS1086/30, and its CS works No. was C61. (Its sister crane, CIE No. 645A, was BR 1089/30, CS No. C63.)
