X6 was a series of three-carelectric multiple units operated byStatens Järnvägar (SJ) of Sweden as local trains aroundStockholm andGothenburg. Three units were built byAllmänna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget (ASEA) in 1960 and were in service until 1985.
The three X6-units were a test batch for SJ based on theX7-series delivered a few years before. They were put into service around Stockholm on the lineMärsta–Södertälje. In 1965 it was decided that thelandsting of Stockholm, throughStorstockholms Lokaltrafik was to operate theStockholm commuter rail. When theX1-series was delivered, SJ transferred the X6 to the Gothenburg area in 1970. They remained in service until 1985 when they were replaced by theX10.
