FreightCar America Secures Major Order Amid Demand Surge
A surge in industrial appetite has propelled FreightCar America, which announced a contract for 1,900 railcars to be delivered through 2028. Following the disclosure, the company’s stock climbed 3.7% to $9.30 in Monday premarket trading, offering a brief respite after an 18% decline in value since the beginning of the year.
