When all is said and done, those of us in the transportation equipment business are going to recall 2019 quite fondly: It has been, by virtually all accounts, a pretty darn good year. It’s just that after the hectic surge of 2018 and ahead of the vast uncertainty that is 2020, not much over the last 12 months has really cried out for attention.
