A Tram is a usually a large gondola car hanging from and moved by
wires to which it is fastened either permanently or by grippers to
transport users over any ground level obstacles. It can also be a
railcar that is fashioned to climb a very steep mountain or hill,
some powered by their own motive power and a counterweight, some by
cable drive powered at the top or bottom of the run.
Sorry, forgot to add that a Tram used to climb steep hills is also
known as a "Funicular Railway".
