Pa is an electric locomotive used by Statens Järnvägar for hauling passenger trains on Malmbanan. It was delivered by ASEA in 1914-15 and was in service until the 1950s. Malmbanan was the first electrified railway in Sweden, and SJ needed a fast locomotive to haul the passenger trains on the line. One of the units is preserved.
