                        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS

            COMPARISON OF FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1994 TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1993


GENERAL
- -------

GATX Corporation's net income for the first six months of 1994 was $41 million
or $1.71 per common share compared to net income of $45 million or $1.92 per
common share for the first six months of 1993.

Financial Services net income decreased as higher lease and fee income and a
lower loss provision were more than offset by the lower disposition gains; 1993
included a $16 million pretax gain from an insurance settlement.  American
Steamship's results decreased in 1994 due to severe ice and weather conditions
early in the shipping season and the inclusion of a gain from the sale of a
customer bankruptcy claim in 1993 income.   Results were lower at Logistics due
to continuing margin pressures. Transportation's and Terminals' operating
performance improved in 1994 which resulted in higher net income due to
increased railcar and terminal rental income, partially offset by higher
maintenance expenses at Transportation and increased selling, general and
administrative costs.  

Operating activities provided $111 million of cash flow during the first six
months of 1994, a $17 million increase from the first six months of 1993.  Net
income adjusted for non-cash items generated $124 million of cash, up $28
million from the first six months of 1993.  The $27 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.  Working capital and Other generated $11
million less cash in 1994.   The increase in working capital and decrease in
other is primarily the result of a reclassification from deferred items to
accounts payable; American Airlines has exercised its option to return four DC-
10 aircraft in early 1995.

Proceeds of $71 million were generated from the portfolio compared to $144
million in the first six months of 1993.  Disposition proceeds of $25 million
were $40 million less than the 1993 period which included proceeds received as
an insurance settlement for a casualty related to marine equipment and a high
level of rail dispositions.  Proceeds from return of investment of $46 million
decreased $33 million due to lower recovery of lease and loan principal and a
reduction in distributions from joint ventures.

Proceeds from other asset dispositions of $15 million increased $12 million
primarily due to the sale of an interest in an aircraft on lease which was
acquired in the first quarter.

Capital additions of $320 million for the first six months of 1994 decreased $12
million from the comparable 1993 period.  Portfolio additions of $152 million
were $46 million lower than the first half of 1993 which included an acquired
portfolio of rail assets.  Capital additions at Transportation included $103
million for railcars and railcar improvements compared to $82 million in 1993;
approximately $8 million was expended on the repair facilities in 1994 compared
to $12 million in 1993.  Terminals invested $52 million in tank construction,
other modifications and improvements, and the acquisition of two additional
terminal facilities compared to $31 million in 1993.  Logistics expended $4
million for equipment additions, down $3 million from last year.  Full year 1994
capital spending is forecasted to be approximately $675 million compared to $596
million in 1993.  A portion of the


                                                                  -5-

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 totaling $326 million at 
June 30, 1994.   General American Transportation Corporation (GATC) has a $650
million shelf registration for pass through trust certificates and debt
securities, under which $50 million of medium-term notes have been issued. 
These notes were issued during the second quarter to repay long-term debt and
fund capital additions.  GATX Capital has a $300 million shelf registration,
under which $55 million of medium-term notes have been issued.  During the
quarter, GATX Capital issued $35 million of medium-term notes to repay long-term
debt and reduce outstanding commercial paper.

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

Transportation's gross income of $158 million for the first half of 1994
increased 6% from the comparable prior year period.  The improvement resulted
from 3,200 additional cars on lease and slightly higher lease rates.  At quarter
end, the active fleet totaled 53,450 railcars compared to 50,250 cars on lease a
year ago.   Fleet utilization at June 30, 1994 was 94% on a total fleet size of
57,000 compared to 91% on a fleet size of 55,200 a year ago.     

Net income increased 4% from the first half of 1993 reflecting the higher
revenues.  Operating margins decreased slightly as the higher revenues were
somewhat offset by increased maintenance expenses.  Ownership costs, consisting
of rental expense, depreciation and interest, increased at a lower rate than the
increase in revenues.

Financial Services' gross income of $98 million decreased $9 million from the
first half of 1993 principally due to lower disposition gains.  Disposition
gains do not fall evenly period to period and are generated primarily from the
sale of equipment at scheduled lease termination dates.  The 1993 second quarter
included a $16 million pretax gain from an insurance settlement related to
marine equipment.  Partially offsetting the lower disposition gains were
increases in lease, interest and fee income.  The increase in lease income was
the result of new investment volume.  Interest income increased between years as
a result of higher interest rates and new loan volume.  Fee income increased
mainly due to a large residual remarketing fee recorded in 1994.  

Net income decreased $5 million from the first half of 1993 primarily due to the
lower level of disposition gains.  The provision for possible losses of $10
million was $6 million lower than the 1993 year-to-date provision.  The loss
reserve was $91 million or 6.8% of total investments at June 30, 1994 compared
to $109 million or 7.5% of total investments at June 30, 1993.

Terminals' gross income increased 5% from the first six months of 1993.  Overall
strong demand for storage tankage as well as increased throughput volumes at
GATX's pipeline systems and large terminals were the primary reasons for the
improvement.  Throughput for the first six months of 1994 was 342 million
barrels compared to 305 million barrels a year ago.  Capacity utilization at
Terminals' wholly-owned facilities was 90% at the end of the second quarter of
1994, down one percent from a year ago. 

Terminals' net income of $15 million increased 8% over 1993.  A slightly
improved operating margin was partially offset by higher selling, general and
administrative costs primarily attributable to higher compensation, training and
information systems costs.  Earnings at the foreign affiliates increased $1.5
million due to strong demand at the Belgium and Singapore terminals; the
Singapore terminals also benefitted from infrastructure growth.

American Steamship Company's gross income for the first half of 1994 decreased
$5 million from the prior year period.  The 1993 gross income included the sale
of a bankruptcy claim which generated a pretax gain of $2 million in the second
quarter.  Revenue in 1994 decreased as a result of the severe ice and weather
conditions on the Great Lakes which impeded efficient vessel operations well
into the second quarter.  Tonnage carried in the first six months of 1994 was
8.2 million tons compared to 8.8 million tons in the first six months of 1993. 

Net income decreased $2 million from the first six months of 1993 primarily
reflecting the 1993 sale of the bankruptcy claim and fewer vessel operating days
in 1994.  Also, margins decreased as the severe weather conditions impeded
efficient vessel operations.

GATX Logistics' gross income of $121 million increased 15% from the first six
months of 1993 due to new customers and increased volume.  Total warehousing
square footage increased slightly to 22.9 million square feet.  Space
utilization was 93% at the end of the second quarter of 1994, down one percent
from a year ago.  

Logistics' net loss for the first six months of 1994 was $.8 million compared to
a loss of $.4 million for the first six months of 1993.  Despite the increase in
gross income, the expense of implementing new business, relocating existing
customers, and labor inefficiencies offset contributions from 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 various lawsuits seeking damages arising out of the
May 1989 explosion in San Bernardino, California.  Of those suits, the following
have now been settled:  Stewart, et al, v. Southern Pacific Railroad Co., et al,
filed May 1990 (No. 256464) and settled May 1994; Reese, et al, v. Southern
Pacific, et al, filed May 1990 (No. 256434) and settled April 1994; and Nancy
Washington, et al, v. Southern Pacific, et al, filed May 1990 (No. 256435) and
settled March 1994.  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.
