Item 8.01 Other Events.

Following the issuance of a "Presentment" issued by an investigating Grand Jury in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Trinity Industries, Inc. has been charged in an eleven (11) count Complaint with eight (8) misdemeanor and three (3) felony violations under Pennsylvania's Solid Waste Management Act, 35 P.S. Secs. 6018.401(a) and 6018.610 (1), (2), (4), (6), and (9). The allegations relate to the Company's former operations in Greenville, Pennsylvania. The alleged violations stem from the movement of soil on the property in 1994 as a part of an improvement project. The Company discontinued its Greenville operations in 2000. The Company is also aware that charges will be filed against a maintenance foreman who worked at Trinity's Greenville operations during the relevant time period. Charges in a complaint are not evidence or proof, but merely constitute allegations of criminal misconduct. The Company is disappointed with the actions of the Grand Jury and is confident that it has defenses to the charges alleged in the Complaint.
