15 Trinity Industries, Inc. Reconciliation of EBITDA (in millions) (unaudited) EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations plus interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization including goodwill impairment charges. EBITDA is not a calculation based on generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts included in the EBITDA calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the historical statements of operations data. In addition, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indicator of our operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flows as a measure of liquidity. We have reported EBITDA because we regularly review EBITDA as a measure of our ability to incur and service debt. In addition, we believe our debt holders utilize and analyze our EBITDA for similar purposes. We also believe EBITDA assists investors in comparing a company s performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation and amortization, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. However, the EBITDA measure presented in this press release may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.

17 Exhibit 99.3 Thank you, Gail, and good morning everyone. Trinity Industries, Inc. Earnings Release Conference Call Comments of Tim Wallace Chairman, CEO and President October 28, 2010 I am pleased with our accomplishments during the 3 rd quarter. We had a number of positive events during the 3 rd quarter which contributed to our success. I anticipate that each quarter will continue to have its own unique characteristics, challenges and opportunities based on different levels of uncertainty that continues to circulate within the global business environment. During the 3 rd quarter, our barge manufacturing facility in Tennessee fully recovered from the damage it received due to the flood last May. James will provide details about the financial aspects of this unique situation during his comments. I am very pleased by the way our employees responded to the challenges associated with the flood. Our structural wind towers business completed additional reshuffling of its production schedules during the quarter to accommodate customers. Our railcar leasing group provided consistent earnings during the quarter. Our Rail Group generated a profit in a highly competitive market environment. Our barge group was very successful in extending their backlog. Demand for products in most of our businesses continues to reflect a positive trend. During the past 6 months we have seen a steady demand for products in our highway construction-related businesses that were consistent with previous construction seasons. I am very pleased with the progress our businesses made during the 3 rd quarter in pursuing orders. Our overall performance during the quarter reflects the talents and hard work of our people; the diversification of our businesses; our emphasis on operational excellence; and the strength of our market leadership positions. Our manufacturing businesses remain prepared to flex as the demands in their markets shift. I am confident in their ability to successfully respond as their markets change. In a rapidly changing business climate like the one we are experiencing, we are fortunate to have a highly-seasoned group of employees. I will now turn it over to Steve Menzies for his comments.

18 Exhibit 99.4 Thank you, Tim, Good morning! Trinity Industries, Inc. Earnings Release Conference Call Comments by Steve Menzies Senior Vice President and Group President Rail and Railcar Leasing Groups October 28, 2010 Third quarter operating results of the Rail Group and Leasing Group were in line with our expectations. Our Leasing Group saw lease fleet utilization increase to 98.9% while continuing to grow. Our Rail Group posted a modest operating profit while shipping approximately 1,140 new railcars. And our order backlog grew during the third quarter allowing us to plan a higher level of production for the balance of the year and into the 1 st quarter of I am pleased with our operating performance in a highly challenging and competitive railcar marketplace. We have seen continued, modest improvement in railcar demand in certain markets. Demand has improved for railcars that transport chemicals, minerals and agricultural products while railcars that serve the lumber, paper, automotive and coal industries continue to suffer from weak demand. Significant numbers of idle intermodal railcars have been placed back into service and orders for new intermodal railcars were prominent during the quarter. Lease renewals and lease rates appear to have stabilized and are even improving in several markets. The overhang of idle railcars and slow economic recovery, however, continues to dampen demand for certain railcar types. During the 3rd quarter, the industry received orders to build approximately 9,200 new railcars raising the yearto-date total to more than 19,200. Industry orders during the 3 rd quarter were heavily weighted toward strategic purchases of intermodal railcars by railroads and TTX. The balance of industry orders were principally for covered hoppers and tank cars. Current order inquiries reflect additional strategic purchases being considered by railroads. TrinityRail received approximately 2,000 railcar orders during the 3 rd quarter. We continue to be very selective about orders we pursue. Our orders during the quarter fit well with our production plans and profitability targets. They included tank and covered hopper cars for industrial shippers and third party lessors. TrinityRail s backlog was approximately 4,860 railcars at the end of the 3 rd quarter up 22% from the end of the prior quarter. Approximately 31% of the units in our railcar production backlog are for customers of our leasing business. Based upon orders received and current inquiry levels, we have increased our projection for railcar production through the end of the year. We now expect to deliver between 1,900 and 2,100 railcars during the 4 th quarter. In comparison, we shipped 1,140 railcars in the 3 rd quarter and 890 railcars in the 2nd quarter of this year. We added 790 new railcars to our lease portfolio during the 3 rd quarter bringing our total lease fleet to more than 51,640 railcars, a 4% increase compared to the end of the 3 rd quarter Our lease fleet utilization increased sequentially to 98.9% from 98.7% at the end of the 2 nd quarter. Our average remaining lease term declined to 3.5 years and the average age of the fleet is 5.8 years. The TRIP lease fleet totals 14,700 railcars operating at a 99.6% utilization. We have adjusted our new railcar production plans as a result of our increased backlog. Our operating flexibility has allowed us to increase production to meet customer needs. We continue to closely monitor demand in the various industry market segments each of which has its own set of supply and demand dynamics. The economic data and rail transportation metrics are leading indicators currently pointing toward a slow recovery in railcar demand. We will adjust to further changes in the marketplace as needed while aggressively pursuing select railcar

19 building and lease investment opportunities that meet our objectives. We expect to continue to grow our lease fleet which continues to perform very well. I ll now turn it over to Antonio.

20 Exhibit 99.5 Thank you Steve, and good morning! Trinity Industries, Inc. Earnings Release Conference Call Comments of Antonio Carrillo Vice President and Group President Energy Equipment Group October 28, 2010 During the third quarter, we received some new orders for wind towers. Some of these orders filled production openings created by the reshuffling that Tim mentioned. The economics of the wind energy industry continue to be challenged by a number of issues which is causing additional wind farm projects to be delayed. In the short term, this impacts our margins as we work to reschedule deliveries. Over the long term, it enhances our customer relationships. Once a sustainable recovery occurs, we will be in a position to produce strong results. I am pleased with our plants ability to handle this production reshuffling while remaining profitable. We continue to be optimistic about the long-term prospects for wind energy. Our $1 billion backlog provides us with a long-term production platform. In the short-term, we may face some additional uncertainty about the timing of deliveries. There are too many variables to predict when a sustainable recovery will occur. We are concentrating on staying flexible and responsive to customer requirements while maintaining sufficient capacity to handle new customer demand when it develops. Our other businesses saw demand stabilize during the third quarter for most of their products and their backlogs began to grow. I will now turn the call over to Bill for his comments.

21 Exhibit 99.6 Thank you Antonio and good morning everyone. Trinity Industries, Inc. Earnings Release Conference Call Comments of William McWhirter Senior Vice President and Group President Construction Products and Inland Barge Groups October 28, 2010 Our Construction Products Group had a good quarter posting operating profit of $20.3 million. These results continue to be driven by the performance of our highway products business coupled with construction-friendly weather. On the concrete and aggregate side, we continued to see weak demand. During the quarter we divested of our East Texas asphalt business and a single Ready Mix plant in Louisiana. We considered these assets not to be core to the operations. The result was a one-time gain of $3.8 million. The divested assets represented approximately $40 million in annual revenue. Moving to the Inland Barge Group... During the third quarter we received orders of $264 million dollars, bringing our backlog to $516 million. We consider most of these orders to be replacement orders for aging equipment. This level of backlog helps provides a strong sense of clarity for During the third quarter, we incurred approximately $500 thousand in costs, not covered by our insurance policies, related to the flooding at our Tennessee barge plant. The plant is now operating at normal production levels. I continue to be pleased with our performance in this challenging economic climate. And now I turn the presentation back to James.

Perry Vice President and Chief Financial Officer October 28, 2010 My comments relate primarily to the third quarter of We will file our form 10-Q later today. For the third quarter of 2010, Trinity reported earnings of $0.37 per diluted share. This compares to earnings of $0.29 per diluted share in the third quarter of The results for third quarter of 2010 include a pre-tax gain of $10.2 million or $0.08 per common diluted share related to the disposition of insured property, plant and equipment that were damaged by a flood at Trinity s Tennessee barge manufacturing facility in May. Revenues for the third quarter were $540 million, compared to $557 million in the same quarter last year. For the third quarter, Trinity s EBITDA was $139 million, compared to $109 million in the same quarter of The reconciliation of EBITDA was provided in the news release yesterday. Revenues for our Construction Products Group were $160 million in the third quarter, compared to $146 million a year ago. This group reported operating profit of $20.3 million, compared to $13.1 million in the same period a year ago. The results for the third quarter of 2010 include a pre-tax gain of $3.8 million recognized from certain divestitures in our Concrete and Aggregates business. Our highway products business, including the acquisition of Quixote Corporation earlier this year, continues to perform favorably. Rail Group revenues increased sequentially by 16% over the second quarter to $131 million. The operating profit for the Rail Group was $3.3 million, a 2.5% margin. The Rail Group backlog grew to an estimated value of $388 million as of September 30, Our Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group reported revenues of $122 million, including $29 million of revenues from TRIP. Operating profit for the quarter was $52.9 million, including $16.3 million from TRIP. In the third quarter, TRIP provided Trinity with earnings per share of $0.02. We expect the EPS quarterly contribution from TRIP to be between $0.02 and $0.03 per share for the fourth quarter, assuming TRIP s current operating metrics remain relatively consistent. During the quarter, Trinity negotiated the acquisition of an additional 29% equity interest in TRIP at a discount for a purchase price of $28.6 million. Trinity s total ownership in TRIP after the purchase was 57% at the end of the third quarter. The purchase was the result of an investment portfolio restructuring by one of TRIP s equity partners. The Inland Barge Group generated third quarter revenue of approximately $99 million and operating profit of $22.4 million, resulting in a margin of 22.6%. As previously mentioned, the Inland Barge Group s third quarter performance included a $10.2 million pre-tax gain from the disposition of damaged property, plant, and equipment from the flood at our Tennessee manufacturing facility in May. Our barge business received $264 million of orders during the third quarter and had a backlog value of approximately $516 million as of September 30, 2010, an increase of 48% over the second quarter of this year. During the third quarter, the Energy Equipment Group s revenues were $107 million with the wind towers business contributing $65 million. Operating profit for the group was $6.0 million, resulting in an operating margin of 5.6%. This compares to operating profit of $16.2 million in the third quarter of These results reflect our ability to adjust to our customers needs due to the on-going softness in the wind tower market. The backlog for the wind towers business as of September 30, 2010 remains healthy at approximately $1 billion. I will now move to our balance sheet and capital structure. At September 30, we had $338 million available

23 under the leasing warehouse facility and $344 million available under Trinity s revolving credit facility after accounting for $81 million in letters of credit. Combined with our unrestricted cash and short-term marketable securities balance of $371 million, our total liquidity position was in excess of $1.0 billion at the end of the third quarter. Subsequent to quarter end, our Leasing Company executed a railcar lease financing transaction for $369 million. This transaction has a coupon of 5.19% which provides us with attractively priced capital. With a portion of the proceeds, we paid down $55 million of our warehouse facility and have issued a redemption notice for all of our $201.5 million of 6.5% Senior Notes that were scheduled to mature in The redemption will settle in late November and will result in a net charge of approximately $0.04 in the fourth quarter. The net benefit to the company of these transactions is reduction in our overall borrowing rate and a longerterm maturity profile. The remaining cash further enhances our liquidity as we continue to grow our leasing business and seek investment opportunities throughout our portfolio of businesses. I will now discuss our forward-looking guidance. We anticipate earnings per share for the Company to be between $0.10 and $0.15 in the fourth quarter after including an approximate $0.04 net impact from the redemption of the Senior Notes. For 2010, we anticipate full year earnings will range between $0.73 and $0.78 per diluted share. We anticipate that the Rail Group will report operating results between breakeven and a $2 million profit for the fourth quarter of Inland Barge revenues are expected to be between $115 and $125 million in the fourth quarter with an operating margin in the range of 12% to 14% for the same period. Revenues for Energy Equipment are expected to be approximately $110 to $120 million in the fourth quarter with margins anticipated to be between 4% and 6%. We expect the wind tower business to contribute $260 to $280 million in revenue during Year to date, non-leasing capital expenditures are $22 million. Our current forecast is for approximately $30 million of non-leasing capital expenditures in Year to date, net additions of railcars to the lease fleet total $154 million. For 2010, we anticipate approximately $175 to $200 million in net fleet additions. We remain well positioned with a diversified portfolio of businesses, a strong balance sheet and solid cash flows. Our continued focus on liquidity solidly positions us to capitalize on business opportunities as they arise. Our operator will now prepare us for the question and answer session. Q&A Session
