Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Great Southern and Western Railway Class 101, classified as Class 101 or Class J15 by the Great Southern Railways, was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives designed for working goods traffic although they did, and were quite capable of, working branch or even main line passenger trains. The 101s were by far the most numerous class of locomotive ever to run in Ireland with 111 being built between 1866 and 1903 with only minor modifications between batches. The great majority were built by the GS&WR at Inchicore Works, though the construction of some examples was contracted out to Beyer, Peacock and Company and Sharp, Stewart and Company, both famous Manchester based locomotive building firms.
