Interestingly, ballast has its earliest beginnings as simple limestone blocks, which actually sometimes pulled double duty as both the support base and track structure. In the 1840s true ballast, or crushed stone, as we know it today began to be widely used and was soon found to be far superior to the old method. Fred Harrison Central Point, OR

The layer of ballast is intended to provide a free draining base which is stable enough to maintain the track aUgnment with the minimum of maintenance. The function of the blanketing sand is primarily to provide a filter to prevent contamination of the ballast by fine particles derived from ascending waters (see Fig. 12.2).
