What is 'reserved rail'?

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

What is 'reserved rail'?

I don't find reference to this in the Whatsnew.pdf for the beta.

Can anyone explain what this value affects?

Settings are 0-80, default is 10%.

'Reserved' for what?

it is the split between rail for supply and rail for moving units. Not enough rail reserved for supply and your units will be have their supply deliveries reduced.

So should I read that 10% of rail is reserved now for supplies, or 10% for unit movement?

It's turn 8 and I have a 32k/145k split for rail capacity between unit movement and factory relocation (does this rail reserved for factory movement stay in place all game, or just '41?)

If I moved the scale down to 5%, would I expect ~1.5k more rail transport for units?
