     The Leasing Group’s interest expense is not a component of operating profit and includes the effects of hedges related to the Leasing Group’s debt. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, Leasing Group interest expense was $36.2 million and $72.9 million, including $10.8 million and $22.3 million of TRIP Holdings interest expense, respectively. Interest expense including the effects of hedges was $34.4 million and $69.2 million, including $11.8 million and $23.6 million of TRIP Holdings interest expense, respectively, for the same periods last year. Rent expense, which is a component of operating profit, was $12.2 million and $24.3 million for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, and June 30, 2010, respectively.
     Equipment consists primarily of railcars leased by third parties. The Leasing Group purchases equipment manufactured predominantly by the Rail Group and enters into lease contracts with third parties with terms generally ranging between one and twenty years. The Leasing Group primarily enters into operating leases. Future contractual minimum rental revenues on leases are as follows:
                                                         
    Remaining six months

     Debt. The Leasing Group’s debt at June 30, 2011 consists of both recourse and non-recourse debt. As of June 30, 2011, Trinity’s wholly-owned subsidiaries included in the Leasing Group held equipment with a net book value of approximately $2,243.7 million that is pledged as collateral for Leasing Group debt held by those subsidiaries, including equipment with a net book value of $51.7 million securing capital lease obligations. On July 6, 2011, TRIP Holdings and its newly-formed subsidiary, TRIP Rail Master Funding LLC (“TRIP Master Funding”), issued $1,032.0 million in new debt and repaid all of the outstanding borrowings of the TRIP Warehouse Loan. See Note 6 Investment in TRIP Holdings for a description of TRIP Holdings and Note 11 Debt for the form, maturities, and descriptions of Leasing Group debt.
     Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. In prior years, the Leasing Group completed a series of financing transactions whereby railcars were sold to one or more separate independent owner trusts (“Trusts”). Each of the Trusts financed the purchase of the railcars with a combination of debt and equity. In each transaction, the equity participant in the Trust is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the Trust and therefore, the debt related to the Trust is not included as part of the consolidated financial statements. The Leasing Group, through newly formed, wholly-owned, qualified subsidiaries, leased railcars from the Trusts under operating leases with terms of 22 years, and subleased the railcars to independent third party customers under shorter term operating rental agreements.
     These Leasing Group subsidiaries had total assets as of June 30, 2011 of $224.0 million, including cash of $91.3 million and railcars of $99.5 million. The right, title, and interest in each sublease, cash, and railcars are pledged to collateralize the lease obligations to the Trusts and are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Trinity does not guarantee the performance of the subsidiaries’ lease obligations. Certain ratios and cash deposits must be maintained by the Leasing Group’s subsidiaries in order for excess cash flow, as defined in the agreements, from the lease to third parties to be available to Trinity. Future operating lease obligations of the Leasing Group’s subsidiaries as well as future contractual minimum rental revenues related to these leases due to the Leasing Group are as follows:
                                                         
    Remaining six                                      
    months of 2011     2012     2013     2014     2015     Thereafter     Total  
                    (in millions)                          
Future operating lease obligations of Trusts’ railcars
  $ 21.2     $ 44.5     $ 45.7     $ 44.9     $ 43.2     $ 382.0     $ 581.5  
Future contractual minimum rental revenues of Trusts’ railcars
  $ 29.0     $ 47.3     $ 32.2     $ 18.6     $ 13.8     $ 28.5     $ 169.4  
     Operating Lease Obligations. Future amounts due as well as future contractual minimum rental revenues related to operating leases other than leases with the Trusts are as follows:
                                                         
    Remaining six                                      
    months of 2011     2012     2013     2014     2015     Thereafter     Total  
                    (in millions)                          
Future operating lease obligations
  $ 2.7     $ 4.8     $ 4.5     $ 4.4     $ 4.4     $ 13.9     $ 34.7  
Future contractual minimum rental revenues
  $ 2.4     $ 4.3     $ 3.9     $ 3.4     $ 2.7     $ 7.0     $ 23.7  
     Operating lease obligations totaling $32.2 million are guaranteed by Trinity Industries, Inc. and certain subsidiaries. See Note 5 of the December 31, 2010 Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Form 10-K for a detailed explanation of these financing transactions.
