It indeed is a rope as mentioned by Manohar.

It is also sad that many tram routes have been stopped and only very few routes are still in operation.

I think it is a rope used to pull the Pantograph
and align with the overhead cable, should it come out
while negotiating points etc. Not sure if it had conducting
wire..

This is a single coach tram, that use to ply in the routes around Howrah. one of them have been refurbished and serves as a tourist Tram now a days. There are twin cabs on both sides, with passenger seating space in the middle.

It takes current from the third rail which is red in colour and running parrallel to the tracks

it is electric powered dude!! Diesel smoke will fill the tunnel and choke the passengers :-) BTW!! the Red looking third track provides the electrical connection.

Is this electric or diesel powered?

this cannot be diesel powered or else it will not be able to go underground. I see some sort of cells in place of diesel tank. Somebody please crosscheck.
