On a funicular system such as The Great Orme Tramway the descending tram moves easily down the track. The downward gradient and gravity help it on its way.
The ascending tram needs a lot of help. It is impossible for a heavy vehicle to climb such a steep slope and against gravity without a form of power to help it.
Some of this power is found in the descending tram. The trams are linked by cable which makes it possible for the one tram to pull the other up.
