I wonder if there is no right or wrong answer! Personally, I like a buff color, mixed with some cinders. Some yards I have seen have no ballast and seem to be simply mud. On the high iron, in my locality, I see gray, light gray and buff colored ballast. Over on da Iron Rainche the ballast has more red in it. I am unsure how far ballast would have been hauled, but think we might be surprised! There are so many variables to this question that even if you were strictly following a prototype you might have more free reign than you would think ! Oh, I voted OTHER.
