RjB 9 and RjB 10 were to identical electric locomotives operated by Norsk Transport on Rjukanbanen in Norway. Build by Swiss Sécheron and German Jung in 1958, they served until the closing of the line in 1991.[1]
The locomotives were equipped with four 183 kW motors, giving 732 kW in total. They could operate at 55 km/h, and were built for both 10 kV and 15 kV electrical systems; the former was used on Rjukanbanen until the older RjB 1–8 were retired in 1966, and the power changed to the standard of Norges Statsbaner.[1]
