  The 'b a r j'  links are different ways to look at the relation:

  ### - the relation link shows the raw OSM XML relation definition
  B - accesses an OSM web page that details the relation
  A - Detailed analysis of the relation, looking for unconnected segments, 
etc
  R - Brings up the OSM Route manager for the relation  (I'm not sure what 
this does)

  J - Loads the relation in JOSM - this is the easiest way to load it, but 
you'll first need to install the "Remote Control" plugin.   The only other 
way is to download an  area containing a way you already know to be in the 
relation.
