The foregoing financial statements are unaudited and have been

opinion of the Registrant, all adjustments, consisting only of
normal and recurring adjustments necessary to a fair presentation
of the financial position of the Registrant as of September 30,
1995 and March 31, 1995 and the results of operations for the six
and three month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 and

                    Trinity Industries Leasing Company
                  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
               Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Registrant is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trinity Industries,
Inc. ("Trinity").

                             Financial Condition

The decrease in 'Equipment on lease' at September 30, 1995 compared
to March 31, 1995 is due to sales of selected car types previously
for lease, partially offset by equipment purchases from Trinity.
The decrease in 'Long-term debt' at September 30, 1995 compared to
March 31, 1995 is due primarily to scheduled principal payments,
coupled with the retirement of an equipment trust certificate.

                            Results of Operations

                   Six Months Ended September 30, 1995 vs.
                     Six Months Ended September 30, 1994

'Revenues' increased principally due to the sale of selected
railcar types during the quarter that were previously held for
lease.
 
'Operating profit' increased principally due to a reduction in
interest expense resulting from scheduled principal payments.

                 Three Months Ended September 30, 1995 vs.
                   Three Months Ended September 30, 1994

'Revenues' increased principally due to the sale of selected
railcar types during the quarter that were previously held for
lease.
 
'Operating profit' increased principally due to a reduction in
interest expense resulting from scheduled principal payments.
