Class 31 was a fireless locomotive designed for shunting duties, primarily serving an oil refinery located in Cerrik. It operated on the route between Cerrik and Papër. It remains unclear whether the locomotive was managed directly by the refinery or by Albania's national railway company, Hekurudha Shqiptare.
Originally constructed for a pharmaceutical manufacturer, Wolff Walsrode, intended for use at their facility in Bomlitz, this unit was acquired second-hand by Albania in 1956. During the 1970s, ownership transferred to an industrial plant in Ballsh. The locomotive was ultimately dismantled in October 2010.[1]
