Ballast Color

Bob: 

 

In the 1960's and 1970's, the ballast cars were older coal cars or ex- coal
cars now in MoW service.

Gary, in that time period, what type of cars did the N&W use to move the
ballast from the quarry?  Would they use coal hoppers?

Yep, Light gray.  Most of the ballast used on the N&W in the 1960's and
1970's came from Plum Run quarry on the Cincinnati District.  This is a
limestone rock that is light gray with a hint of tan in it.  The quarry is
near the town of Peebles.

What is the correct color for ballast on the Pocahontas District in the
1960's and 1970's ?
