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.

This video is very satisfying for me. The ballast car is ingenuity on another level.
Y’all need more respect for your hard work
Great video! You all are doing nice work!
I like your ballast car. Simple, yet effective. Do you have extra strong springs under it? Thank you in advance, Pete
Keep up the good work.
I didn't see where you guys did any leveling of the track, just alignment.
