See the conductor wire hanging from a long Pantograph at the back of the Tram. Also notice the tiny Tail-Light. Its really amazing to see that perhaps with little or no maintenance the Tramways vehicle is still surviving.

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..
