WILMINGTON, Del., May 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Rigrodsky & Long, P.A.:


    --  Do you, or did you, own shares of Trinity Industries, Inc. (NYSE: TRN)?
    --  Did you purchase your shares between February 16, 2012 and April 21,
        2015, inclusive?
    --  Did you lose money in your investment in Trinity Industries, Inc.?
    --  Do you want to discuss your rights?

Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., including former Special Assistant United States Attorney, Timothy J. MacFall, announces that a complaint has been filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas on behalf of all persons or entities that purchased the common stock of Trinity Industries, Inc. ("Trinity" or the "Company") (NYSE: TRN) between February 16, 2012 and April 21, 2015, inclusive (the "Class Period"), alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of its officers (the "Complaint").

If you purchased shares of Trinity during the Class Period, or purchased shares prior to the Class Period and still hold Trinity, and wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact Timothy J. MacFall, Esquire or Peter Allocco of Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., 2 Righter Parkway, Suite 120, Wilmington, DE 19803 at (888) 969-4242; by e-mail to info@rl-legal.com; or at: http://www.rigrodskylong.com/investigations/trinity-industries-inc-trn.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements, and omitted materially adverse facts, about the Company's business, operations and prospects. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that the defendants concealed from the investing public that: (1) Trinity changed certain dimensions of the ET-Plus in 2005 without telling the Federal Highway Administration ("FHWA"), the government agency that certifies the safety of roadside hardware; and (2) as a result of the foregoing, Trinity's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. As a result of defendants' alleged false and misleading statements, the Company's stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period.

According to the Complaint, on April 22, 2015, an article was published by Bloomberg News, reporting that Trinity was at the center of a federal criminal probe. The article stated that the U.S. Justice Department was conducting a criminal investigation into the use of a highway guardrail system linked to at least eight deaths.

On this news, shares in Trinity dropped over 9%, closing at $32.82 per share on April 22, 2015, on heavy trading volume.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 29, 2015. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Any member of the proposed class may move the court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.

While Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. did not file the Complaint in this matter, the firm, with offices in Wilmington, Delaware and Garden City, New York, regularly litigates securities class, derivative and direct actions, shareholder rights litigation and corporate governance litigation, including claims for breach of fiduciary duty and proxy violations in the Delaware Court of Chancery and in state and federal courts throughout the United States.
