Yet more locomotives were required in 1966 and a further 12 built to a similar design as the class 141s. These locomotives were delivered with the 1100hp units designated GM-EMD 8-645E.
With parts interchangeable with the class 141s at least one of the class 181s ended up with a GM EMD 8-567CR 950hp refurbished engine from a class 141.

Max Speed 89mph but limited by CIE to 75mph.
