Mark,
One of our division members said he went to the quarry for the Casper Division 
and got several large bags full.  He had it crushed and sold bags of the stuff, 
it took me a while to find the ones I bought.  It is granite but very light 
shot with a light gray .

  To Mark (from Tom Mack):

  Check out message 27202 from Steve Holding. Here is what he says:

  The best place to look for the track details is on a track chart. I
  have a complete set thanks to Mike Spoor on CD and have sold some at
  meets to raise money for the SD-24 at IRM. I am planning on making
  Kansas City in Sept. if things go alright 

  Bevier has Slag ballast last cleaned in 1965(1966 track chart) from MP
  75-75.4 where Chatts was placed in 1947 to MP 79 where Slag again was
  used. 112 Pound Rail. So even on a 5 mile section of track(each page
  is 5 miles) the ballast could change an also the color and texture.
  Also look at the weeds along side the tracks as often they kept
  college guys to mow in the summers. The ballast was neat and tidy. 

  Check out some of the old photos. Do not look at what was photographed
  but as the backgrounds Trees, Weeds, Fields,

  See you at KC
  Steve
