conflict minerals (as defined in Section&nbsp;1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the &#147;Dodd-Frank Act&#148;)) are necessary to the functionality or production of certain of the products that it
manufactures or contracts to be manufactured and FreightCar is unable to determine the country of origin of conflict minerals in such products. Accordingly, FreightCar cannot exclude the possibility that some of its products may contain conflict
minerals that may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (as defined in Section&nbsp;1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act). As a result, FreightCar is filing a Conflict Minerals Report for the year ended

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This report, for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2019, is presented to comply with Rule <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">13p-1</FONT> under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Conflict Minerals Rule&#148;).&nbsp;The Conflict Minerals Rule was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;) to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict
minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the &#147;Dodd-Frank Act&#148;). The Conflict Minerals Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants that manufacture products or contract
for products to be manufactured that contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of such products.&nbsp;&#147;Conflict Minerals&#148; are currently defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite (coltan), gold,
wolframite and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten (collectively, &#147;3TG&#148;).&nbsp;These requirements apply to registrants whatever the geographic origin of the Conflict Minerals and whether or not the Conflict
Minerals finance or benefit armed groups (as defined in Section&nbsp;1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If a registrant can establish that the Conflict
Minerals originated from sources other than the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (as defined in Section&nbsp;1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act and, collectively with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the &#147;Covered
Countries&#148;) or from recycled or scrap sources, it must submit a Form SD to the SEC that describes the reasonable country of origin inquiry completed by the registrant. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If a registrant has reason to believe that any of the Conflict Minerals in its supply chain may have originated in any of the Covered Countries, or if it is
unable to determine the country of origin of those Conflict Minerals, then the registrant must exercise due diligence with respect to the Conflict Minerals&#146; source and chain of custody.&nbsp;The registrant must annually submit a Form SD and a
Conflict Minerals Report to the SEC that includes a description of its due diligence measures. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Company Overview </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This report has been prepared by the management of FreightCar America, Inc. &#147;FreightCar,&#148; the &#147;Company,&#148; &#147;we,&#148; &#147;us&#148; and
&#147;our&#148; are used interchangeably to refer to FreightCar America, Inc. and its subsidiaries collectively. FreightCar America, Inc. operates primarily in North America and manufactures a wide range of railroad freight cars, supplies railcar
parts and leases freight cars. The Company designs and builds high-quality railcars, including bulk commodity cars, covered hopper cars, intermodal and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-intermodal</FONT> flat cars, mill gondola cars, coil steel
cars, boxcars and coal cars. The Company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois and has facilities in the following locations: Cherokee, Alabama; Grand Island, Nebraska; Johnstown, Pennsylvania; and Shanghai, People&#146;s Republic of China, and
construction is underway on a facility in Casta&ntilde;os, Mexico. The Company&#146;s operations comprise one reportable segment, Manufacturing. The Company&#146;s Manufacturing segment includes new railcar manufacturing, used railcar sales, railcar
leasing and major railcar rebuilds. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Supply Chain Overview </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are several layers removed from the smelters and refiners in our supply chain. Accordingly, we rely on our direct suppliers to provide information on the
origin of the Conflict Minerals they supply to us, including the sources of Conflict Minerals that are supplied to them from their lower-tier suppliers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry and Conclusion </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As
Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured by FreightCar or contracted by FreightCar to be manufactured, we conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry (&#147;RCOI&#148;) for
calendar year 2019 to determine whether any of such Conflict Minerals originated in a Covered Country or from recycled or scrap sources (as defined in Item 1.01(d)(6) of Form SD, &#147;Recycled/Scrap Sources&#148;). We conducted a supply chain
survey of our direct suppliers using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template developed by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative, which is an initiative founded by members of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition, Incorporated and the Global
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">e-Sustainability</FONT> Initiative (&#147;EICC/GeSI&#148;). In designing our RCOI, we surveyed 37 direct suppliers that in aggregate represented 95% of the Company&#146;s expenditures for materials in 2019. We
received responses from 26 suppliers representing 64% of the Company&#146;s expenditures for materials in 2019. Some of the suppliers that responded were unable to determine the country of origin for the Conflict Minerals contained in their
products. Accordingly, we cannot exclude the possibility that some of our products may contain Conflict Minerals that may have originated in one or more of the Covered Countries. </P>

determine the country of origin of the Conflict Minerals contained in their products. Based on the surveys provided and notifications that our suppliers&#146; diligence efforts were incomplete, we do not have sufficient information to conclusively
identify all smelters/refiners or countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals. The majority of our suppliers reported conflict minerals use at the company level, not at the product level. As such, we cannot definitively state whether these Conflict
Minerals were included in the products provided to FreightCar America, Inc., or further validate that these smelters or refiners exist in our supply chain. We expect that transparency in our supply chain will increase in the future and that will
