The American Car & Foundry Carbon Black Cars Page

Welcome to the American Car & Foundry Carbon Black Cars Page. AC&F was an early builder of carbon black cars for many operators and operated their own fleet of specialized carbon black cars bearing reporting marks of either ACFX or SHPX. They later adopted their successful Center Flow 4600 ft3 covered hopper for carbon black service as their CF4589 cars for their own lease fleet and others.
