In the 1960’s and 1970’s up to the merger, the N&W used get cars and cars of limestone from the Plum Run quarry near Peebles Ohio the Cincinnati District for use as ballast.  The limestone was a very pale gray in color.  After the merger the ballast stone came from a quarry owned (?) by the Southern.  This was a gray, feldspar-looking stone.
  
I am reasonably sure that the Plum Run ballast was used system wide on the N&W in those days.  It sure was used on Scioto Division track in abundance.

What is the correct ballast color for the Pocahontas District or the Clinch Valley District circa the '60s or '70s?
