Why does the orange line on the front curve upward? If it's supposed to
represent a safe distance from zap, shouldn't it curve downward if anything?

Isn't it just decorative?

No, it's a warning line to indicate the upper limit of safe working under a live overhead wire. You see them on any train that operates under the wires. See the link I provided earlier.
