| NSB El 18 is a class of 22 electric locomotives built by Adtranz and Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works (SLM) for the Norwegian State Railways (NSB). The class is a modification of the Swiss Federal Railways class Re 460 locomotive and built at Adtranz Strømmen in 1996 and 1997. Prior to the final negotiations, union representatives for the train drivers stated that Re 460 was their preference, and that NSB could expect a dispute if they chose a different model. The representatives stated that they were "tired of experimenting with Norwegian solutions". |
