Donetsk Railway Committee of the Union of Rail and Transport Workers
From some experience with RZhD annual reports and also based on several examples: http://yandex.ru/yandsearch?text="дорожный комитет * профсою...
I'm about 75% certain that here "дорожный" means "of that particular railway." So it would be a territorial or institutional division of the trade union, rather than referring to some function specifically related to track maintenance. If that's right, then in English you can omit it, in the sense of not saying it twice. That is, rather than "the Railway Committee of ... of the Donetsk Railway," make it "the Donetsk Railway Committee of ..."

On the other hand, it's at least conceivable that it might refer to track construction, so you're right to be looking for someone with superior knowledge of rail terminology.
