TLG released a couple of press releases today. One indicates that several
European facilities will be closed, and a lot of the function will go to a Czech
facility. Switzerland, in particular, will lose a few hundred jobs, including
some machine shop jobs.

Didn't I hear somewhere that the tooling and/or production for 9V train tracks
was done in Switzerland?

Another release indicates the company is doing better but still has a lot of
work to do:
