Freight Car America Inc. leaving....
Posted by Modelcar on Tuesday, January 15, 2008 9:59 AM

....Freight Car America Inc..{Hope that is the correct name now}, as reported in late December of closing the Johnstown, Pennsylvania plant is now making some local waves.  Sis in Law {in Pa.}, mentions to me this morning something the local word is, workers making angry waves about a pension problem coming out of this move...Possibly, the Co. not following thru with promises....I am not quoting just what is happening, but something is causing local trouble.

Edit:  Checked over on a search and it appears there is a question of layoffs to accomplish a Co. objective of pension issues that is causing the problem.
