Cornmaze-- <br /> <br />Don't know where the ferrous fowl is right now, but the answer to your question is yes. And, if there is no geotextile filter under the track, the up and down action will literally pump mud from beneath and in the subgrade up into the ballast. Typically you will see the effect in what looks like (and is) very muddy ballast. <br /> <br />Hope that answers your question.
