NSB El 10 is a series of electric shunter locomotives used by Norges Statsbaner (NSB) of Norway. It was built by ASEA and Thune based on the Swedish U-series and is the only electric shunter which NSB has operated. The first locomotive was built by Thune in 1931. The other sixteen locomotives were built by ASEA and some other companies between 1937 and 1952. They were finally retired from service in 1998. They were numbered 10 2504 to 10 2520. Engines 10 2504 and 10 2508 were painted in bright colors to pull the train on the Norwegian children's TV program Sesam Stasjon.
