I noticed certain High Speed Rail track is ballast type instead of slab track. If the railway is ballast type, what stone ballast material do they use for High Speed Rail?
Crushed stone, washed gravel, bank run (unwashed) gravel, torpedo gravel (a mixture of coarse sand and small gravel), slag, chats, coal cinders, sand, and burnt clay have all been used as track ballast. Ballast is derived from a nautical term for the stones used to stabilize a ship.
Los Angeles abrasion value and magnesium sulfate freeze-thaw test result should be quite low. For example, it should be below 15%. Because high-speed railways have very strict geometric tolerances. To provide this value, for example, a basalt type aggregate would be an ideal choice.
