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.

C.E. Butters recently produced the railroad ballast for the Commuter Rail from Salt Lake City to Ogden
