'''X6''' was a series of three-car [[electric multiple unit]]s operated by [[Statens Järnvägar]] (SJ) of Sweden as local trains around [[Stockholm]] and [[Gothenburg]]. Three units were built by [[Allmänna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget]] (ASEA) in 1960 and were in service until 1985.

==History==
The three X6-units were a test batch for SJ based on the [[SJ X7|X7]]-series delivered a few years before. They were put into service around Stockholm on the line [[Märsta]]–[[Södertälje]]. In 1965 it was decided that the [[County councils of Sweden|landsting]] of Stockholm, through [[Storstockholms Lokaltrafik]] was to operate the [[Stockholm commuter rail]]. When the [[SL X1|X1]]-series was delivered, SJ transferred the X6 to the Gothenburg area in 1970. They remained in service until 1985 when they were replaced by the [[SL X10|X10]].
