It looks like the ballast that Canadian National used around here (Vernon-Kelowna) It's like a coarse granite but over time it 'weathers' and darkens. I use a grey ballast .Woodland scenics makes both light grey and grey ballast. The light grey looks like it's just been laid down so I perfer the grey. In HO I first set down fine ballast and then sprinkle a little medium around so it looks a little older and iot give some variety. If you want a slight cinders look why not try a light misting of flat black over the grey ballast? <br />Hope this helps
