Soot toughens tires, prints papers, shines shoes, paints palaces. Carbon black is a valuable product, and more than 50% of America's total carbon black production is shipped over the Santa Fe. Photos show spectacular smoke clouds over the Texas panhandle (cough, cough), the burner houses, tiny gas flames, blackened rubber, a conveyor line of paper bags full of the stuff, and a bulk-loading machine that fills freight cars automatically.
Published in an unidentified magazine in 1939.
