DANVILLE -- Hundreds of people are losing their jobs. Last month, we learned notices were going to be sent to workers at Freightcar America Inc. Wednesday, those letters became reality.

Freightcar America filed notice with the state it's laying off 254 workers. The company is based in Chicago and makes rail cars. Cuts only affect the Danville plant.
