Twenty-three were built byHilding Carlssons Mekaniska Verkstad between 1960–1963 and were in service with SJ until 1999. The sharp reddish orange colour gave the trains the nicknamePaprika trains.
The X9 was partially based on theX20/X21-series delivered by Hilding Carlsson to the private company TGOJ. The X9 was put into service in Southern Sweden and fromStockholm toDalarna. During the 1970s all the units were moved to eitherSkåne or to theGothenburg area, and during the 1980s all units were moved to the latter area.
