Helsinki: An old tram operating on tramline 6 captured on Hämeentie street in Toukola district. Before moving to Helsinki tram 152 was used in Mannheim (Germany) in 1970-2003.

Greetings from Mannheim

Brigitte, thanks for your comment! What a coincidence - I didn't know I had a visitor in Mannheim, too. :)
We actually have five old trams from Mannheim here in Helsinki. Four of them are in use on tramline 6 and the fifth is used as a source for spare parts. The old trams temporarily replace some of the new low-floor trams in Helsinki, which suffer from major technical problems. The new trams are all shipped back to their manufacturer in Germany for comprehensive modifications.
