NSB El 7 was a series of three electric locomotives delivered to Rjukanbanen in 1911, where they were designated RjB.1, RjB.2 and RjB.3. The locomotives were built by AEG (motor) and Skabo (chassis). When two of the locos (no. 1 and 3) were later transferred to Norges Statsbaner, they were designated El 7 and numbered 2501 and 2502. The last engine was taken out of service in 1956. No. 2501 is retained at the Norwegian Railway Museum.
