Item 5.   Other Events.

     Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Transcisco 
Industries, Inc. ("Transcisco"), Trinity Industries, Inc. (the "Registrant"), 
and Trinity Y, Inc. ("Trinity Y"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the 
Registrant, dated as of June 17, 1996, the Registrant entered into an 
agreement whereby Trinity Y would be merged (the "Merger") with and into 
Transcisco, which will continue to exist as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the 
Registrant.  In the Merger, each share of Transcisco common stock, par value 
$.01, that is outstanding prior to the effective time of the Merger will be 
converted into, exchanged for, and represent the right to receive one 
thousand, eight hundred eighty-four ten thousandths (0.1884) of a share of the 
common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Registrant.

     The common stock exchange ratio is fixed.  Based on the June 14, 1996 
closing price of $35 per share for Trinity common stock, the transaction would 
have a value of approximately $47.6 million.

     Transcisco, based in San Francisco, California, is a diversified railcar 
services company engaged in railcar maintenance and repair, specialty railcar 
leasing and management services and Russian rail transportation services 
through its 23.5 percent ownership of SovFinAmTrans ("SFAT"), Russia's leading 
private rail transportation firm.

     The Merger is subject to registration with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission of the common stock of Trinity to be issued in the transaction, 
regulatory approval, and approval by the stockholders of Transcisco, and the 
transaction is expected to be completed in late August or early September, 
1996.
