Just last month, one of those Fools, djohn1969, succinctly summed up the bull case for our community:
[V]ia its railcar manufacture and leasing business units, Trinity benefits from spikes in the railroad industry, but is far less susceptible to the multitude of headwinds the railroad operators face. Through its construction and highway business units, Trinity will also benefit from the continuing economic recovery as infrastructure investment resumes. Trinity is a strong and well-managed company.
