The material Rusty Spike is looking for is known as
"Pink Lady" ballast. It is quarried in Wisconsin and
sold to CNW.
Analogous materials , are also produced and sold
under that name as monumental,ashlar, and
crushed rock quarried in the Dakotas and around
"Big Stone" NWF on the Minnesota border. The line
(DM&E?) running south from Rapid City along
the main hghwy has had a lot of it dumped in the
last few years, that came from the Dakotas.
Regardless, Gary Kuhn's SCALE REPRODUCTIONS,
grinds up two shades of "Pink Lady", taken from
the quarry supplying the CNW, to model
railroad size. He is on the Great Decals WWWs.
