Additional layoffs in the Roanoke area

[NW Mailing List]

Just ran across these two articles in the June 2009 issue of  Virginia 
Business:
 
"FreightCar America Inc., a Chicago based manufacturer of rail cars,  
suspended operations at its Roanoke plant because of a shortfall in new  orders.  
About 210 workers are affected by the move."
 
"O'Neal Steel Inc., a welding operation based in Botetourt County,  closed 
its facility, with the loss of 115 jobs after FreightCar America  suspended 
work at its rail car manufacturing plant in Roanoke."
