God, I love this old stuff. A bit before my time but being raised in California I have always been a fan of AT&SF and Southern Pacific.

Cinder ballast? I thought that's not durable.
You may be thinking of cinders as a byproduct of fireboxes, which are a combination of carbon and silica. The volcanic cinders here are pieces of basalt and andesitic rock that are very porous and the result of hot gases mixed in molten rock ejected from a volcano, somewhat glasslike and quite durable.
