From the homepage of the Intermodal Group at Yahoo! Check out this photo showing weathered pavement and track on the ATSF. Judging from the file string on the jpeg it is the yard at Clovis NM eNjoy DB
Yes, Don, I belong this group, so regularly see that photo. Very useful for getting things to look right.
But its all gravel, not pavement, including where the intermodal yard is all the way in the back. Mike
Gravel, concrete, asphalt, whatever -- anything other than bare dirt are all are types of "paving". I've seen logging roads "paved" with wood shavings. The original National Pike leading west out of Baltimore (which later became US-40)was first "paved" by logs laid cross-wise along the dirt right-of-way. The photo was posted to show the weathering effects typical of what you find around a railroad yard caused by time, vehicles, sunlight, rain, erosion, etc., regardless of what type of "pavement" it is.
