Railroad Ballast
One of the most demanding applications for crushed stone
is railroad ballast. This product serves as a bed for railroad tracks
and provides track stability, drainage, and support of significant loads
carried by railcars. In addition, it deters the growth of vegetation and
allows for track maintenance to be performed more easily. Ballast is produced
from natural deposits of granite, trap rock, quartzite, dolomite or limestone.
Vulcan produces railroad ballast at over 70 facilities
in 18 states. To locate or learn more about a ballast production facility
