There might be some possible that TRN just settles out of court, and one the conditions that TRN offers the opposing side and government is: ' here it is . . . we just give the guard rail business free and clear . . . to you and wash our hands of it'.
After all, why incur legal expenses that could become over the 3% that guard rail business provides to TRN revenues?
Then, just focus on its tank car replacement revenue possibilities. Its looking like no one {in USA} would want rebuilt present variant tank cars. Let the government mandate expensive improvements, that will force rail tank car per unit costs much higher (who really cares it seems, electronic money grows on 'trees'). <---parts to the tank car accidents is having to run freight and tanks on the same track-age as Amtrak. Another might well be the state of those dual rail usage loads on that same track and its bridges. Parish the thought, RR companies would need dual operators in each train engine cab. Why self-driving trains are just around the corner! And, they can 'park' themselves correctly too. Artificially programed electronics are so much more efficient and do not need medical plans or play games on their cellphones. Just ask the FED . . . they know all about such things.
I have not yet been dissuaded that TRN is not an investment opportunity, that has high prob of getting back to double its stock price in 2-3 years. After all, besides trucks . . . who and what can transport water to various needy communities along rail routes? We might just expand the TRN buy argument by claiming TRN is a dualistic method to invest in drought relief AND USA energy independence, while keeping an eye out for the vaunted coming of USA economic recovery! <---my guess is we do not se ANY major form of USA economic recovery until 2018 at the earliest . . . I mean is difficult to sign all those papers into law. Give those old big pocket lawyers a chance.
