Three 9100 series railcars were built in 1949 by Swedish manufacturer NOHAB of Trollhättan. They were essentially a narrow gauge version of CP's larger Iberian broad gauge Série 0100 diesel railcars. They were in revenue service until 2002, when they were withdrawn and replaced by the new CP Série 9500 railcars.
