Guys for photographic verification of slag colors(note the plural) go to  
Mike Spoors Color Guide for Q equipment and on page 102  there is a  shot of a 
w/c on the west end of trk 13 in the East Yard at Eola. In the  background are 
the slag piles that were accumulated from cars on the "slag  hole" tracks (2) 
at Eola.
 
This is new slag coming directly from the mills.Yes, I'm sure as I still  
have my notes on the subject from an old interview. The slag came in  from N.W. 
Indiana mills in foreign gons,unloaded and stored there until  distributed on 
the tracks by work trains during the season. When BN changed to  the granite 
ballast the old "slag hole" tracks became dead storage for the  Reclamation 
plant inbound cars.
 Note the shade variations from light gray to almost brown. Also note  the 
new slag along trk 13 that appears to be very light gray to almost  white.
