Reference only#4 Stone (3/4″ To 1.5″, Railroad)
#4 stone in the 3/4” to 1.5” size range, designated as “Railroad,” is a durable crushed aggregate commonly used in heavy-duty applications. Produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks, this material features angular edges that interlock for enhanced stability. The “Railroad” attribute indicates its suitability for use as track ballast, where strength and drainage are critical.
