REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS




Benefits Committee
GATX Corporation


We have audited the accompanying statements of financial
condition of GATX Corporation Salaried Employees Retirement
Savings Plan as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related
statements of income and changes in participants' equity for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of GATX Corporation Salaried Employees Retirement Savings Plan at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the income and changes in
participants' equity for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

GATX CORPORATION SALARIED EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 1993


NOTE A--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investments are recorded at market or redemption value.

All costs and expenses incurred with regard to the purchase and sale of
investments are borne by the GATX Corporation Salaried Employees Retirement
Savings Plan (the Plan) and are included in the realized gain (loss) on sale
of investments.  Administrative and general expenses are paid by GATX
Corporation.


NOTE B--DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Plan is a defined contribution plan and was established to afford employees
an opportunity to save systematically for retirement.  The Plan is open to each
eligible salaried employee of GATX, and each of its domestic subsidiaries which
adopts or has adopted the Plan upon authorization by GATX, who has six months
of service credit and has completed an enrollment form prior to one of the
semi-annual enrollment dates of January 1st and July 1st.

A participant may contribute to the Plan from 1% to 15% of his or her
compensation as defined by the Plan.  GATX and its electing subsidiaries
contribute an amount up to but not more than 50%, as determined from time to
time by GATX, of the amount contributed by each participant but not to exceed
3% of the participant's compensation as defined by the Plan.  Company
contributions are invested in GATX Common Stock and short-term investments.
All contributions are made in cash and deposited monthly.  Contributions by
participants are made by means of salary deferral and are fully vested as to
employer contributions.

After one year of participation in the Plan, active participants may obtain
loans from the Plan.  The maximum loan amount is subject to certain restrictions
and each loan is secured by the participant's account balance.














                                                                        -10-

NOTE B--DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued)

Participants may elect to have their contributions invested in the Balanced
Fund, Equity Fund, GATX Stock Fund, Assured Income and Annuity Option Fund,
Equity Growth Fund, or in a combination of any of the funds in multiples of 10%
in each fund selected.  On July 1, 1993 the Balanced Fund and Equity Growth Fund
were added as investment options.  At that time the Fixed Income Fund was frozen
and at December 31, 1993 eliminated.  Any remaining assets in the Fixed Income
Fund were transferred to the Assured Income and Annuity Option Fund.  Employees
participating in the Plan had invested in the available funds as follows (some
having invested in more than one fund):

</TABLE>
As a result of a previous acquisition by GATX, rollover contributions,
consisting of shares of common stock of Phillips Petroleum Company, were
received by the Plan in 1979. As of December 31, 1993, one employee is
participating in this Fund.  Further contributions to the Fund are not
allowed.

GATX intends this Plan to be permanent but reserves the right at any time to
modify, amend, or terminate this Plan, including the right to suspend or
permanently discontinue employer contributions upon 30 days prior notice
to participants or to reduce (or increase but not to more than 50%) the rate
of such contributions without notice.  For the years ended December 31, 1993,
1992 and 1991, GATX's contribution rate was 50%.

Should the Plan terminate at some future date, its net assets will generally
be available to provide participants their distributions in proportion to their
allocable share of the Plan.

Effective August 1, 1991, the GATX Corporation Salaried Employees Retirement
Savings Plan named Harris Trust and Savings Bank as trustee.  Prior to that
date, American National Bank had been plan trustee.

GATX CORPORATION SALARIED EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued

December 31, 1993


NOTE D--GATX COMMON STOCK

The balance in the GATX Stock Fund consisted of $19,659,385 of
employer matching assets and $7,147,587 of employee contributed
assets at December 31, 1993.  As of December 31, 1992, these
amounts were $14,768,098 and $5,626,433 respectively.  The
employer matching assets cannot be transferred from the GATX
Stock Fund to other funds.


NOTE E--FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has issued a favorable determination
letter with respect to the Plan that the Plan is a qualified
profit sharing plan under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, therefore, is not subject
to tax under present income tax laws.  Amounts distributed from
the Plan are taxed to the participants or their beneficiaries as
provided by Section 402(a) of the Code.  The amount of any
distribution generally is taxable to the recipient and under
certain circumstances may be treated, in part, as long-term
capital gain or as ordinary income subject to special income
averaging.  Distributions to a participant prior to the
attainment of age 59-1/2 generally are subject to an additional
10% tax, unless such distributions are rolled over into a similar
plan of another employer, an individual retirement account, or
are made in the form of a deferred annuity contract.
