Simply varying the colour of the ballast can suggest the relative importance of various tracks. My main lines are mostly ballast atop cinders, but the loco servicing area is mostly cinders (Woodland Scenics), with a few "weeds" thrown in. The industrial sidings are ballasted at the entry switch, but that quickly deteriorates to cinders, dirt, and weeds.

None of the ties is actually buried, but the change in ballast colour from that on the main line suggests that some are - the addition of a few weeds helps to enhance that effect.
