Answer:

The crushed stones are what is known as ballast. Their purpose is to hold the wooden cross ties in place, which in turn hold the rails in place. ... The sharp edges of the stone make it difficult for them to slide over each other (in the way that smooth, round pebbles would), thus effectively locking them in place.

The stones don't allow vegetation to grow on railway tracks which could weaken the ground on which the railway lines run. 2. Track ballast also keeps water from reaching the track on a regular basis and softening the ground.
