“It has been my honor and privilege to be a part of this great company for the past 44 years and lead it for the past 20,” said Mr. Wallace. “With a strong foundation and team in place, I believe this is an opportune time for me to step back and let a new leader guide Trinity into the future.

Trinity’s non-executive Chairman Leldon Echols stated, “On behalf of the Board, I want to thank Tim for his significant contributions and service to Trinity over more than four decades. Tim has made a difference in every facet of this company. He has been instrumental in building a strong corporate culture dedicated to premier performance – fostering collaboration throughout the business and a commitment to excellence and continuous improvement. Under Tim’s leadership, Trinity evolved from a manufacturer of railcar products to a premier integrated platform of railcar products and services with market-leading positions in North America.
