We do not know what is the proper use of many of the objects we see in everyday life. We, too, are often reluctant to ask another person what the use of that substance is, so it goes inward as if we know everything. For example, have you ever wondered why everything on the railway track is paved with granite? But let’s see what such objects are made of and what their proper use is.

What are the stones on the rails for? Let’s see, we can go to any country in the world and see the granite laid on the railway track. What is it for? The stones placed on such rails are known as ballasts. We know that several times a day trains pass through the track carrying loads.

Therefore, the track will have good vibrations and other vibrations. No matter how strong the railway tracks are, the track can be damaged when heavy and heavy trains pass through it. These granite stones are placed on the track to stop the pressure and vibrations that occur when such heavy trains pass through the track.
