- While in Helsinki last month, I had several opportunities to photograph Transtech’s new Artic Tram prototypes, which were working the city’s streets in revenue service.
These are state of the art Finnish trams that feature modern low-floors with advanced technologies and yet feature classic styling.

One of two Artic tram prototypes in Helsinki, Finland. Exposed with my Fujifilm X-T1. 
The first two times I saw an Artic Tram I missed the opportunity to board. Snooze you lose. Exposed with my Fujifilm X-T1.

Three generations of trams in Helsinki. The Artic prototype is on the left. Transtech calls them Artics (that’s right.) I think they look pretty cool.
