" Our industry is all about
weight, cost, and efficiency "
JEC Composites Magazine approached Kenneth Huck, Director of Product
Development at Trinity Industries, Inc., to inquire about the group's
strategy and vision following its award for the TrinityRail TrinCool™72′
Refrigerated Boxcar Floor during the last edition of CAMX.
transportation is efficiency.
Railcars are limited to a
maximum loaded weight of
286,000 lbs because of rail
and bridge limitations.

JEC Composites Magazine:
Could you tell us about
TrinityRail and the challenges
related to your core business?
Kenneth
Huck: The
constant challenge in rail
The lighter the railcar, the
more commodity it can
transport. Another limitation:
lighter-density commodities
may run out of the
railcar volume before reaching
286,000 lbs of weight.
Combine this with the cost
expectation of our customers,
one can begin to understand
our challenges.
We need to provide the
lightest railcars with the
most volume and yet design
them to withstand 50
years of repeated forklift
loads and the harsh vibrations
and impacts common
in the rail shipping environment.
In addition, refrigerated
railcars need to be thermally
efficient to minimize
greenhouse gases from the
refrigeration unit and all
materials need to be fully recyclable.
We
noticed that a great
number of innovations have
arisen and matured over the
course of the epidemic. Has
the situation stimulated your
need/ability to innovate?
K. H.: TrinityRail has a
track record of constant innovation
to provide unique
solutions for our customers.
Despite some limitations
during the pandemic, we
have continued to innovate
and develop our products.
For example, TrinityRail applied
for 30 patents in 2020
and continued at a great
pace in 2021.
TrinityRail 72' Refrigerated Boxcar with the composite floor. The interior length is 72' - 3 " and the length of the railcar
is 85' coupler-to-coupler

144 January - February 2022
You just received an award
for the TrinityRail TrinCool™
72-ft refrigerated boxcar floor
at the last CAMX Expo. Could
you present the key benefits
of your solution?
K. H.: Our initial goals
were to reduce weight, decrease
the railcar's total cost
of ownership, and improve
thermal efficiency. After observing
how refrigerated railcars
are used by our customers
and through interviews
with their personnel, Carter
Andrews and the rest of our
team were able to provide
additional features and solutions
new to the industry
