See also description on photo uploaded immediately prior to this one.

"This cable tram grip car operated on the extensive Melbourne cable tram network. A cable tram consisted of two vehicles working together, a leading open tramcar with perimeter seats under a canopy style roof, known as the ‘dummy’ or ‘grip’ car, and an enclosed saloon tram or trailer. The system was powered by a large steam winding engine. The engine’s flywheel hauled an endless steel cable lying beneath the road between the rails in a shallow channel along the tram route.

While Sydney was building its network of state-owned steam trams in the 19th century, Melbourne was developing a private network of cable tramways. The Melbourne system blanketed the inner city and radiated out in every direction, growing to become the fourth largest network in the world. Sydney only had two cable tram routes which operated between 1893 and 1905."
