With a total production of 41 units, the Norske Statsbaner El 11, a Bo-Bo type, were the most common Norwegian electric locomotive and was an important part of the modernization of the NSB and its "get rid of steam" program. The El 11 was really a SBB Re 4/4 I with another body. They were built by NEBB Norsk Elektrisk Brown Boweri og Thune from 1951 to 1961.

Three units - 2092, 2098 and 2110 - were rebuilt in 1983-1984 with dynamic brakes and magnetic rail brakes for use on the Flam Railway.
