Railway Troops of the Russian Armed Forces (Russian: Железнодорожные войска ВС России[1]) are a railway troops service in the Logistical Support of the Russian Armed Forces.[2] They are involved in ensuring the defense of Russia. Railway Troops perform the tasks of rail services (preparation, construction, reconstruction and protection of the objects of railways). It is the oldest such force in the world, established in 1851, as a unit in the engineering corps of the Imperial Russian Army.[3] The professional holiday of the Troops is celebrated on August 6.
