The average depth of the ballast varies from about 12 inches to 18 inches on well maintained lines. It can be more depending on drainage needs. When a railroad wants to raise a track they frequently use more ballast to gain the additional height. On the other hand some poorly maintained lines may have much less ballast. Spur tracks also might not have as much ballast as a main line.

How much gravel do you need to cover a 2400 sq ft?
To determine how much gravel you need to cover a 2,400 sq ft area, you first need to decide on the desired depth of gravel. For example, if you want a depth of 3 inches, you would convert that depth to feet (3 inches = 0.25 feet) and then multiply the area by the depth: 2,400 sq ft x 0.25 ft = 600 cubic feet. Since gravel is typically sold by the cubic yard, you'll convert cubic feet to cubic yards by dividing by 27 (1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet), resulting in approximately 22.2 cubic yards of gravel needed.
How many sq ft will 7 yards of gravel cover?
That depends on the depth of gravel. I am going to assume 3 inches of gravel. One 'yard' really means a cubic yard in this context, which is volume. V = Area of base x depth 7 = (A/9)(3/36) ---- A = 7(12)(9) = 756 sq ft
