Trackage in industrial areas

Just to add another 2 cents...I'm laying the 'industrial' track directly on the foam sub roadbed. I put the mainlines on Woodland Scenic black foam. <br /> <br />I'm modelling a small oil 'boom town' in West Texas in the mid 50's and from some of the pics I've been able to find the yards and industrial spurs were run right over the bare ground with little or no ballast at all. I just add the ground cover right up to the tracks -- looks very close to the 'real thing'. <br /> <br />I don't think Texas boom towns did much care and maintenance of their spur or industrial tracks...
