                         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS

         COMPARISON OF FIRST THREE MONTHS OF 1994 TO FIRST THREE MONTHS OF 1993


GENERAL
- -------

GATX Corporation's net income for the first quarter of 1994 was $20 million or
$.84 per common share compared to net income of $19 million or $.77 per common
share for the first quarter of 1993.  First quarter 1994 net income increased 9%
over the first quarter of 1993.  Transportation and Terminals reported higher
net income due to increased railcar and terminal rental income, partially offset
by increased selling, general and administrative costs primarily attributable to
higher compensation, training and information systems costs.  Increased fee and
lease income at Financial Services were more than offset by lower disposition
gains and joint venture income and a higher loss provision.  American
Steamship's results were higher in 1994 primarily reflecting recognition of
fixed costs within the 1993 quarter for a vessel that was not expected to
operate in 1993.  Results were lower at GATX Logistics. 

Operating activities provided $51 million of cash flow during the first quarter
of 1994, an increase of $10 million from the 1993 first quarter.  Net income
adjusted for non-cash items generated $61 million of cash, up $11 million from
the 1993 quarter.  The $4 million decrease in realized gains on disposition of
leased equipment effectively increased cash from operating activities as the
full amount of proceeds was included under investing activities as portfolio
proceeds.  

Proceeds of $32 million were generated from the portfolio compared to $47
million in the first quarter of 1993.  Disposition proceeds of $13 million were
slightly lower than last year.  Proceeds of $18 million from return of
investment decreased $15 million due to lower recovery of lease and loan
principal, partially offset by an increase in cash generated from joint
ventures.    

Capital additions for the quarter totaled $221 million, up $116 million from the
1993 first quarter principally due to increased expenditures at Financial
Services.  Additions at Financial Services of $132 million, a $90 million
increase from last year, included $65 million to acquire a 50% interest in two
aircraft on lease to an international carrier and a $25 million loan against the
cash flows of a lease portfolio for which Financial Services is providing
management services.  Transportation invested $56 million in the railcar fleet
versus $42 million in last year's first quarter; approximately $4 million was
expended on the repair facilities in both quarters.  Terminals expended $27
million in the quarter for tank construction and other modifications and
improvements compared to $12 million in last year's first quarter.  Logistics
expended $2 million in the 1994 first quarter, down $3 million from last year. 
Full year 1994 capital spending is forecasted to approximate $700 million
compared to $596 million in 1993.  A portion of the 1994 expenditures may not be
effected depending on market conditions.  It is anticipated that capital
expenditures will be funded by both internally generated funds and GATX's
available external financing sources.    

GATX had available unused committed lines of credit of $276 million at March 31,
1994.  During the quarter, General American Transportation Corporation (GATC)
filed a $650 million shelf registration for pass through trust certificates and
debt securities, none of which has yet been issued.  GATX Capital has a $300
million shelf registration for medium-term notes; $20 million was issued during
the quarter.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

Transportation's gross income for the first quarter of 1994 increased 6% from
the comparable prior year period due to higher revenues attributable to
additional railcars on lease and slightly higher lease rates.  Fleet utilization
at March 31, 1994 was 93% on a fleet size of 56,400 compared to 92% on a fleet
size of 54,900 a year ago.  At quarter end, the active fleet totaled 52,600
compared to 50,250 a year ago.  

Net income increased 6% from the first quarter of 1993 as higher revenues and
slightly lower ownership costs were partially offset by increased fleet repair
costs.  Ownership costs, consisting of rental expense, depreciation and
interest, decreased slightly despite an increased fleet size due to lower
interest rates and interest rate swaps which were executed to more closely match
the duration of Transportation's debt with the railcar lease terms.  Operating
margins decreased as the increase in fleet repair costs exceeded the growth in
revenues.

<PAGE>

Revenues at Financial Services increased 14% from the comparable prior year
quarter primarily due to increased lease and fee income, partially offset by
lower disposition gains.  Pretax disposition gains, which do not fall evenly
period to period, were $4 million for the first quarter of 1994 compared to $9
million for the first quarter of 1993.  The increase in lease income was the
result of new investment volume, including a railcar sale leaseback transaction
acquired during the second quarter of 1993.  Fee income increased due to the
higher level of equipment remarketing fees generated during the first quarter of
1994. 
   
Net income decreased 11% from the 1993 comparable period principally due to a
lower level of joint venture income and an increased provision for losses,
partially offset by lower interest expense and the favorable revenue variance. 
The first quarter loss provision of $6 million was $2 million more than last
year's first quarter, bringing the loss reserve at quarter end to $94 million or
6.8% of portfolio investments.  Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies
decreased $1 million from the comparable 1993 period primarily as no current
year income was recognized at one of the technology joint ventures due to
revised residual estimates.

</TABLE>
Terminals' 1994 gross income increased 4% reflecting overall strong petroleum
activity at a number of its larger facilities and higher throughput. Throughput
for the first quarter was 174 million barrels compared to 152 million barrels a
year ago.  Capacity utilization at Terminals' wholly-owned facilities was 87%
compared to 92% at year end and 91% at the end of the first quarter of 1993. 
Utilization declined as a result of certain tankage being out of service for
maintenance and repairs and reduced utilization in the United Kingdom.    

Terminals' net income of $7.5 million increased 7% from the 1993 comparable
period due to the higher revenues, slightly improved margins and a $.4 million
increase in earnings at the foreign affiliates.

American Steamship traditionally does not begin operations until late in the
first quarter due to ice conditions on the Great Lakes.  Net income of $.4
million was recorded in the 1994 first quarter compared to a net loss of $.4
million in the 1993 first quarter.  Net income in the current quarter includes a
$.2 million gain recognized on the sale of stock received in 1993 as part of a
bankruptcy settlement.  The 1993 first quarter loss primarily reflected
recognition of fixed costs in that quarter for a vessel that was not expected to
operate in 1993.  Pricing on the Great Lakes remains very competitive due to
continued vessel overcapacity.

GATX Logistics' gross income of $60 million increased 20% from the 1993 first
quarter due to new customers and increased volume.  Total warehousing square 
footage increased 3% over a year ago to 23.3 million square feet.  Space
utilization was 91% at the end of the 1994 first quarter compared to 94% at year
end and 93% a year ago.  

Logistics' net loss for the first quarter of 1994 was $.7 million compared to
$.3 million for the first quarter of 1993.  Despite the increase in gross
income, the expense of implementing new business, relocating existing customers,
and labor inefficiencies partly attributable to severe weather conditions offset
any contributions from the new business.  Logistics' contribution margin
continues to be under pressure as the competitive environment is limiting
operating profits.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings 
- --------------------------

GATX has previously reported a number of lawsuits which have been filed in the
Superior Court for the State of California and served upon Terminals, Calnev
Pipe Line Company or another GATX subsidiary seeking an unspecified amount of
damages arising out of the May 1989 explosion in San Bernardino, California.  In
addition to those lawsuits, the case of Zamarripa, et al, vs. Southern Pacific
Railroad Company, et al, (No. 526684) was filed in November 1993 in the County
of San Bernardino.  Based upon information known to management, it remains
management's opinion that if damages are assessed and taking into consideration
probable insurance recovery, the ultimate resolution of the lawsuits arising out
of the May 1989 explosion will not have a material effect on GATX's consolidated
financial position or results of operations. 

The Environmental Protection Agency has issued a Complaint and Compliance Order
against Terminals, alleging among other things that its Tampa, Florida facility
exceeded the ninety-day limitation on the storage of hazardous materials and
failed to implement a hazardous waste analysis plan in violation of the
Resources Conservation and Recovery Act and Florida statues.  The Complaint
seeks injunctive relief and penalties of $341,235.  Terminals has admitted
certain portions of the Complaint and is vigorously defending the remaining
allegations.

Except as reported above and other than as previously reported, neither the
Registrant nor any of its subsidiaries is currently a party to any material
pending legal proceeding, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to
the business, and to the belief of the Registrant, no such proceeding is
contemplated.
