I use black scenic sand used for sand in bottle paintings. It's a little off color but looks fine after it's glued down like ballast and airbushed with gray and or brown paints. I have also used gray spray primer instead of an airbush. I then use fine gray ballast for sides. Easy crossings are made with rerailers that are weathered. I also us strip wood to hand build crossings. They look great but require lots of time.
