Slate Ballast ?

Posted by jrbarney on Thursday, March 10, 2005 6:56 PM

The April 2005 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman has an article that describes the use of slate scrap as ballast on the narrow gauge Monson Railroad in Maine. Are there any other railroads, past or present, that use, or used, slate for ballast ?
