Section 3 - Securities and Trading Markets

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On March 22, 2012, FreightCar America, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that, due to the delayed filing of its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “Form 10-K”), the Company has received, as expected, a notification letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires timely filing of SEC periodic reports. The notification letter was received on March 21, 2012.

On March 16, 2012, the Company filed a Form 12b-25 with the SEC stating that it is experiencing a delay in its final review of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 and related disclosures to be included in the Form 10-K. As a result of this delay, the Company was unable to file the Form 10-K with the SEC on or before March 15, 2012, the prescribed due date. The Company expects to file its Form 10-K as soon as practicable but is not yet able to determine whether it will be able to file the Form 10-K within the 15-day time period permitted by Rule 12b-25.

The Company has until May 21, 2012 to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules. The Company intends to submit a plan to regain compliance within this 60-day period. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, the Company will have up to 180 calendar days from the filing’s due date, or until September 11, 2012, to regain compliance.

A copy of the Company’s press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
