For the limestone ballast, I once used the Highball Products limestone but an equivalent is the Arizona Rock & Minerals 1392. It’s not often listed on their website but I’ve been able to get it from them.
Ballast has changed a lot in recent years. Now there’s a lot of 2″ crushed granite, but in the 50s-60s it was a lot smaller. I harvested some from the Wichita Sub, maybe from around Eureka, thirty years ago and it was more like what I would call chat, mostly 1/4″ to 3/8″ size.
