Have you guys tried extending the ballast off the edges of the ties a few inches, like about 4? By doing that it give a wider bed and also gives a wider base that is more kick proof from dragging shoes from people shuffling along instead of picking up their feet. It does take more ballast, but in the end, you have a more secure road bed.
Great video! You all are doing nice work!
This video is very satisfying for me. The ballast car is ingenuity on another level.
Keep up the good work.

Y’all need more respect for your hard work
I like your ballast car. Simple, yet effective. Do you have extra strong springs under it? Thank you in advance, Pete
