NSB El 6

Diesel and Electric Locomotives

The NSB El 6 was a series of two small electric locomotives delivered in 1912 to Norsk Transport for the Rjukan Line and the Tinnoset Line, where they were numbered RjB.4 and 5. The electrical motors were built by AEG and the chassis by Skabo, and the pair were exactly half of the larger RjB.1 to 3 units delivered at the same time, with two motors, one pantograph and one transformer. In 1920 RjB.4 passed to the Norwegian State Railways and became El 6 number 2503; in 1934 it was rebuilt from 10 to 15 kV and moved to Drammen, and it was taken out of service in 1956. The source says that neither locomotive has been preserved.
