Introduction to Ballast Material
Railway ballast is the packed aggregate material (typically 25-60mm) that forms the trackbed and supports railway tracks. High-quality crushed stone ballast must be angular, durable, resistant to weathering, and properly graded for optimal drainage and load distribution. The ideal ballast material is crushed granite, basalt, or quartzite with specific particle size distributions.
