Jim Meyer, President, and CEO of FreightCar America stated:
FreightCar America is already reaping the advantages of relocating their manufacturing operations to Castaos, as evidenced by increased year-over-year results and a second quarter of good gross margin. RAIL is also seeing signs of increased momentum throughout the end markets they serve. The RAIL management believes that this momentum will carry over to FreightCar’s business, with sales enquiries and new order activity exceeding their expectations. As a result, they’ve increased their 2021 delivery forecast to between 1,600 and 1,750 railcars, up from their previous estimate of 1,400 to 1,600 railcars. RAIL is ecstatic with what they’ve done at FreightCar in the last 6–12 months, and they believe the leverage they’ve gained from their recent operations and cost structure will help them thrive in a strengthening market.
