Railroad Ballast

Railroad ballast is one of the most demanding applications for crushed stone.

Railroad ballast functions as a foundational layer for railroad tracks, ensuring track stability, drainage, and support for heavy loads carried by railcars. It also prevents vegetation growth and facilitates track maintenance. Vulcan manufactures ballast and other track materials from natural deposits such as granite, trap rock, quartzite, dolomite, or limestone. With a nationwide presence, Vulcan offers ballast and assistance through its dedicated Ballast Sales Team stationed at various facilities across the country.
