Trinity Industries Inc (TRN)

Thanks for info.

I am comfortable with this company, and its products.

As time rolls on . . . more and more video cameras on vehicles and on-board monitoring of vehicle performance parameters (along with more and more video cams installed on roadways) . . . will work against the efforts of taxi-cab office lawyers . . . from bringing lawsuits of this type.

I might wonder if TRN will start to install data collection modules (similar to tiny basic sized and purposed flight recorders), on its guard rails as a means of more precisely determine the cause-and-effect of the accidents, that result in strikes against its guard rails.

This type of continuous equipment monitoring of rolling stock (and the actual rail condition itself), is also growing in use across our nation's rail system. I think our highways and road system, need to follow upon this trend of active monitoring.

I do not see why TRN could not undertake and fund a test of these
guard rail monitoring systems, of itself (with approval by Highway Authorities, of course). Be pro-active and protect your company? Texas A&M . . . where are you?
