FreightCar America---the home of the aluminum railcar, is proud of its heritage of building and designing railcars. And we have good reason. FreightCar America has been manufacturing quality railcars since 1901. The generations of employees responsible for creating its reputation for quality have made FreightCar America the largest North American manufacturer of aluminum railroad freight cars used to haul coal. FreightCar America now uses its design knowledge, enhanced production facilities, and unequaled experience in aluminum railcar building to expand its product line and provide cost benefits to customers.

Quality at FreightCar America is not just an idea---it's the high degree of excellence every FreightCar America employee is focused on achieving. That's why, when the Burlington Northern Santa Fe sought out a railcar manufacturer to adapt and efficiently produce the proven design of its new centerbeam flat car, the FleXibeam™, FreightCar America was selected. This relationship was formed based on our industry reputation for building a quality product at a competitive price.

Today, FreightCar America continues the legacy as a quality railcar manufacturer. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe relationship is just another example of FreightCar America's commitment to building quality cars for its valued customers.
