I clicked to look at the highres version... and I really don't understand why websites feel the need to put PDFs behind an interface. Every common browser has a perfectly good PDF viewer built-in, in fact it's normally better than anything website-provided.

Am I missing something?

Looks like they are using nextcloud and just uploaded the file there instead of providing a direct download link. Probably just out of convenience.

This site is run by volunteer sleeper train fans, working with WordPress, not some paid web developers. But they’d probably welcome some more technical volunteers.

That looks like it's the same PDF.js viewer that Firefox bundles anyway.
