end of track

[NW Modeling List]

Does anyone know of a photo of the cinder end of track? I have a team track on my home layout that would be perfect for this, but I don’t know what that looks like IRL. I could just bury it, but is that right (aka you can’t really see any rail or ties)?
Thanks,
David Baker
