When using SEO to get my website ranked in Google, can I ever compete with domain names that the exact keyword that I am optimizing for?
For example, if I am optimizing a site for the keyword search "train horns" on Google and my domain name/website name is a general business name like "industrialsupply.com" etc., without the keyword "train horns" included in the domain, can I ever compete for position 1 on Google for that keyword? Or, will the website "www.trainhorns.com" or "www.trainhorns.net" always rank above me because the domain name matches the keyword? Thanks!

if you have a lot of good links or a few high ranking links that are about the same subject as your website, and proper meta and title and wording on your page you can rank higher. If a company is incorporated and such and you use their domain name on adsense to drive traffic to your site you can get in trouble, for infringing on their business name.

Yes, you can!
The domain name is one of the 200 (or more) factors that google uses to rank your site.
Actually is one of the most important but there are at least other 199 factors to consider…

The search results are fairly low about 490 000 competing pages for the search term "train horns"
You can very easily dominate this whole page with your train horn content.
Other keywords to consider would be
train horns sale
train horns diesel
klein train horns
air horns
musical horns
compact train horn
train horn prices
train horn kits
And you can dominate these search results as well.
If your interested send me your url and I will do an SEO Analysis of your site for FREE and tell you what needs to be done with a STEP BY STEP Guide if your able to do it yourself fine if not I can help you set your site up properly to get ranking quickly.

Look forward to hearing from you

hi,
its always beneficial to have a domain name same as the targeted keyword.
but its not like that you cannot get good rank position with other domain names.
You have to work on some factors to improve your google ranking. factors are like:
1).On-Page SEO
SEO – Title Tag
SEO – Header & Bold
SEO – Keyword Use
SEO – Link Structure
2).Off-Page SEO
SEO – Anchor Text
SEO – Competitors
SEO – Site Targeting
SEO – Site Health
SEO – Link Building

Yes you can. you can put your file name, category as "train horns". There are lots of website with exact domain, but it don’t have content, so they ranking is low. Remember, content is King.

You need to study and select some keywords that are related to your site and add it to your website. Then submit it to search engine. After a time, it may come in top 10 from the search result. For example, the keyword: topbuysell is related to domain http://www.topbuysell.com . And it ranks number one on the search result.
