One of my relatives went to a local quarry and asked for limestone gravel dust. They asked what he wanted it for and upon telling the lady at the scale shack she called on the radio for one of the workers there. He came up drove him to the biggest pile of HO scale ballast you could imagine and gave him a 5 gallon bucket full for free. He screened it and came up with three different sizes, and the worker at the quarry even came over and helped ballast some track. You just never know where you'll meet a fellow modeler.
