Can anyone explain what the purpose of the reel of wire stretching from the front of the unit is? No photographer listed.

PC MoW Office/Bunk Car, 1972
Title:  PC MoW Office/Bunk Car, 1972
Description:  Everyday. Here is an original photo that I took of Penn Central Railroad property in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, in March of 1972. Shown here is the PC's Maintenance-of-Way Office/Bunk Car, located at the very eastern end of South Juniata Street. This looks like a Pullman-built car that has been put-up on two stacks of railroad ties. Perhaps it saw better days during the long-gone "Age of Steam"!
