Am I missing something about how and why this made it to the HN front page?
Seems to be a fairly trite government publication that is more of interest to civil engineers.
I thought maybe there was something in the document that would provoke a few laughs but can't find anything there either.
- uwagar 5y agofew laughs? we are a laughing [rolling] stock, us indians.

- aravindet 5y agoPerhaps it was posted here because it seems to have a remarkably broad scope going well beyond what might be considered railway-related? Just guessing, not the OP. I am curious though, what part of the title indicated to you that there was something humorous in it?
- surajs 5y agoYawn, figure it out
- samspenc 5y agoThis was the pattern I read in the title: "[Country] [Government org] Works Manual". Surely, I thought to myself, the only reason this would have made it to the HN front page is if there were a few guffaws in it related to how asinine a government document could be, but I couldn't find anything in there that indicated the same.
- hungryhobo 5y agopretty sure there are quite a bit of indian viewership on HN
