Welcome to the Carbon Black and Fumed Silica Cars Page. Carbon black cars are quite common around the South Louisiana area owing to the fact that there are several carbon black plants located in the area. I have added coverage of fumed silica cars due to their similarity to carbon black cars. While carbon black cars were primarily painted black with white lettering, fumed silica cars were painted in colorful variety of liveries.

For modelers, Wade Griffis offers great decals for carbon black hoppers at Black Swamp Shops.
