Ballast Color

[NW Mailing List]

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?

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.
