Soviet Rail Capacity Question

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but in my current T17 as Soviets, my rail capacity is showing at 61k. In previous turns up to this one, it has been around 106-115k or so. If I look at the production screen it show 245 rail factories with 5 damaged. If we pretend that the 5 that are damaged are 100% damaged, it would be 240 x 100 x 5 = for 120k. Why do I only have 61k capacity this turn? What obvious thing am I missing?

Thanks!

Do you have a bunch of troops still on trains from the previous turn?

Yes. Does that impact it??

UPDATE...

Ah, I see now. So it counts those guys as moving by rail but when you move them it doesn't use any of the remaining capacity. Never noticed this before. Good to know for future reference for sure.

Rail way capacity is only deducted when units are loaded on to rail, or at the start of the turn if they are already on rail. How much or how little you move them by rail after that makes no difference to how much rail cap you use.
