NSB Class 62

NSB Class 62 is the first electric railcar operated by the Norwegian State Railways, between 1936 and 1970.

The units served, along with trailer cars on the first mainline electrified railway, the Drammen Line.

They proved to be underpowered, and were not used on the most heavily trafficked part of the line; mostly serving on trains to Asker or Heggedal.

The units were not compatible with the newer NSB BM65 units delivered from 1936, and were dispatched to Ofotbanen in 1952 where they served until 1970, except for 62.01 that was transferred to Kristiansand to be used on local trains on the Sørland Line, remaining in service until 1965.
