A couple of months ago, one of those Fools, LAVol, succinctly summed up the Trinity bull case for our community:
Oil has to be moved from the shale plays. With the government holding up pipeline construction, the best way to move the oil is by rail. Someone has to build the oil rail cars and Trinity is the best play for oil rail cars.
