QR–Cure–Quizzing Realms–437

Should be a sitter.

What

The image above contains the text of a letter that is now a part of the Railway archives, and is often displayed at museums. If you can get past the language—transliterations and all—tell me what the significance of this letter is. As in, what change did it bring about in India’s Railway system?

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

***

Just one short of a SCORE when it comes to answers, and all of them correct, more or less. This letter led to the introduction of toilets in bogies, coaches or compartments in of Indian Railways, then under British control.
