Might be a stupid question, but what exactly do railroad troops do?

I assumed that because the USSR was so vast, the only way to move stuff around easily was by rail, so there were military trains (and perhaps military rail routes?) and the folks' whose specialty pertained to that were the rail troops.

Nack, Tretov,

And don't forget the famous armored trains.
