This is the time when I mention that I purchased Joe Celko's "SQL For 
Smarties" several years ago and felt it was a great companion for 
learning standard SQL theory.  I recommend the book for everyone who 
wants to take it to the next level. 
 
I suspect that this entire database I inherited from a group project 
of multiple contractors will have to be overhauled to achieve true 
third normal form, but cannot be for financial and scope reasons. 
 
I certainly was able to identify 3 mutual columns between the trucks 
and trains and can suggest building a join table with that data and a 
vehicle_ID that's used as the join with the transportation_item. 
 
thanks!
