The SJ Z 31 was the first Swedish electric locomotive to be used on the Luleå – Narvik railway line .
history
The Z 31 was built in 1909 as hull number 21 by ASEA -Sigurdverkstaden in Västerås to carry out tests on the first electrified lines in Sweden. It has a motor bogie and a running bogie, which was used as model 07 for passenger cars . The wheelbase was 3,000 mm for the drive bogie, and only 2,400 mm for the trailer bogie.
Until 1914 it was run as test locomotive No. 3. On September 16, 1914, it was bought by Statens Järnvägar after it was converted for the ore railway's electricity system. It got the series designation Z 31 . The locomotive came to Kiruna to carry out test runs on the ore railway. Scheduled electrical operation on the section between Kiruna and Riksgränsen began in 1915. On delivery it had a simple pantograph . In the 1920s she received two new pantographs.
The locomotive had a blue paintwork with black decorative lines ex works. When it was sold to SJ, the paint was painted gray, the black decorative lines remained. In May 1970 the locomotive got the blue color scheme again.
It was only slightly damaged in a collision with a truck loaded with dynamite on November 11, 1930.
The locomotive was parked in 1938, handed over to the Sveriges Järnvägsmuseum in 1940 and stored in Tomteboda . In 1983 the locomotive was exhibited in the Tekniska museet in Stockholm , in 2004 it came to the exhibition of the Sveriges Järnvägsmuseum in Gävle . The locomotive has been in the Norrbottens Järnvägsmuseum in Luleå since May 2009 .
