Ballast is a real useful thing to have around: <br /> <br />1) It provides a stable, level surface to run the tracks on. <br />2) It supports and distributes the weight of the trains. <br />3) Being made of stones, it allows rainwater and other muck to flow and drain away from the tracks. <br />4) It (sort of) discourages the growth of plants. <br /> <br />There's more too, I'm sure; this is just what I've heard.
