NSB El 6 was an electric locomotive delivered to Rjukanbanen in 1911, where they were designated RjB.4. The locomotives were built by AEG (motor) and Skabo (chassis) and delivered at the same time as RjB.1-3 (later El 7) locomotives for the electrification of Rjukanbanen. When the locos were transferred to Norges Statsbaner, RjB.4 was designated El 6, numbered 2503. It was taken out of service in 1956, but has not been preserved.
