As a matter of clarification, the Frisco Railroad personnel called the cars "chat" cars. If you would refer to one of them as a ballast car, you more than likely would receive a strange puzzled stare. The reason being that the Frisco for many years used the "chat" piles from the former lead mines in the Joplin, Missouri District (southeast Kansas, northeast Okla-horn, and southwest Missouri) as a source of ballast for the right-of-way. The geologic definition of chat is "the finely crushed gangue remaining after the extraction of lead and zinc minerals in the Joplin, Missouri District." Gangue is "the commercially worthless mineral matter associated with economically valuable metallic minerals in a deposit." In the Colorado mining district, this stuff is referred to as "slag piles" or "tailings." The Tri-State area mentioned above, for many years since the mining ceased in the fifties, was known for the huge piles of chat, many of them covering more than forty acres and being more than 300 feet high. It almost gave the area a mountain-looking skyline. However, in recent years, the chat has become an economically valuable material in itself, as it has a very high Chert content and is very resistant to erosion. Some of the material has even been shipped to Saudi Arabia to coat the oil pipelines in combination with tar to protect them from wind and sand erosion. Today, the great piles of chat left from the former lead and zinc mines are almost completely gone. But the importance of the chat itself has spurred some talk of reopening the mines . . . not for lead and zinc, but rather for the chat. On the Frisco, any finely crushed limestone rock in the Ozark region is referred to as "chat." All pictures are of the actual item. There may be reflection from the lights in some photos.
