Before we get started, let me remind you that:

“Today’s conference call contains forward looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and includes statements as to estimates, expectations, intentions and predictions of future financial performance. Statements that are not historical facts are forward looking. Participants are directed to Trinity’s Form 10-K and other SEC filings for a description of certain of the business issues and risks, a change in any of which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward looking statements.”

On September 30th, 2007, our borrowings at the corporate level were the 450 million dollars of convertible subordinated notes, 201.5 million dollars of senior notes and 2.9 million dollars of other indebtedness. The Leasing Company’s debt included 337.6 million dollars of Secured Railcar Equipment Notes, 75.7 million dollars of Equipment Trust Certificates and 337 million dollars outstanding under our railcar leasing warehouse facility.

Our Total Debt to Total Capital ratio was 46 percent on September 30th, 2007, unchanged from our ratio at December 31st, 2006. Net of cash, our Net Debt to Total Capital ratio was 42 percent on September 30th, 2007, up from the comparable amount of 39 percent at December 31st, 2006. On September 30th, 2007, our cash position was 222.4 million dollars.

During the third quarter, Trinity announced that our leasing subsidiary, Trinity Industries Leasing Company increased its non-recourse warehouse facility from $375 million to $400 million and extended the availability period of the facility to August, 2009. The facility provides TILC with more favorable terms, including pricing and advance rate, than the previous facility.

Additionally, we were pleased to announce just last week that we have increased our corporate revolving credit facility from 350 million dollars to 425 million dollars. We also extended the maturity to five years.

We are pleased with the confidence that our banking partners have given us with both of these facilities. The expansion and extension of these facilities demonstrates Trinity’s ability to execute transactions in the capital markets to support our strategic growth.

Now, here’s Tim Wallace.
