                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS

       COMPARISON OF FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1996 TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1995


GENERAL

GATX  Corporation's  net income for the first six months of 1996 was $50 million
or $2.14 per common  share  compared  to net income of $56  million or $2.42 per
common  share for the  first  six  months  of 1995.  On a fully  diluted  basis,
earnings per share was $2.06 for the first six months of 1996  compared to $2.29
for the comparable period last year.

Gross income  increased 6%  primarily  as a result of the  additional  number of
railcars on lease at GATX's railcar  leasing and management  subsidiary,  higher
lease income at Financial Services, and increased volume at GATX's logistics and
warehousing  subsidiary,  partially  offset by lower revenue at GATX's terminals
and  pipeline   subsidiary.   Net  income  decreased  9%  primarily   reflecting
utilization  and  pricing  pressures  at  certain  of  the  terminal  locations,
partially  offset  by lower  corporate  expense  due to the  reversal  of a $2.6
million  after-tax  litigation  reserve  following  the  successful  defense  of
previously reported litigation against GATX.

Operating  activities  provided $100 million of cash during the first six months
of 1996,  an  increase  of $52  million  from the first six months of 1995.  Net
income adjusted for non-cash items generated $135 million of cash, up $6 million
from the first six months of last  year.  The $7 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. Changes in working capital and other generated
$46 million  more cash in 1996 due to a $48  million  refund of a deposit as the
result of a lessee's exercise of its option to return four DC-10 aircraft in the
first quarter of 1995.

Proceeds of $138 million were generated  from the  portfolio,  a decrease of $55
million  from the first six  months of 1995 due to the lower  level of  proceeds
received  from the sale of leased  equipment  which varies on a period to period
basis.  Proceeds  from the sale of  leased  equipment  of $52  million  were $61
million  less  than  the  prior  year;  however,  proceeds  from the  return  of
investment increased $6 million.

Capital  additions and portfolio  investments  of $628 million for the first six
months of 1996 increased $220 million from the comparable 1995 period. Portfolio
investments at Financial  Services of $365 million,  including marine equipment,
railroad rolling stock and  locomotives,  aircraft,  and information  technology
equipment, were $178 million higher than the prior year. Transportation invested
$166 million in its domestic  railcar fleet and  facilities  versus $154 million
last year;  in  addition,  $5 million was invested in  operations  in Mexico and
Europe this year versus $12 million a year ago.  Terminals'  capital spending of
$86 million,  which included  expansion of the Central Florida  Pipeline and the
purchase  of a 65%  interest  in a terminal  in Mexico,  exceeded  the first six
months  of 1995 by $37  million.  Full year 1996  capital  spending  for GATX is
forecasted to exceed $500 million,  including $86 million  expended in July 1996
for the  remaining  55%  interest  in CGTX,  Transportation's  Canadian  railcar
affiliate. This purchase brings Transportation's total fleet to 77,000 railcars.
Further,  portfolio  investments are expected to be  approximately  $500 million
compared to $388 million in 1995. A portion of these 1996  expenditures  may not
be  made  depending  on  market  conditions.  It  is  anticipated  that  capital
expenditures  and  portfolio  investments  will be  funded  by  both  internally
generated funds and GATX's available external financing sources.

GATX had  available  unused  committed  lines of  credit  in the  amount of $261
million at June 30, 1996. General American Transportation Corporation (GATC) has
a $650 million shelf  registration for pass through trust  certificates and debt
securities,  under which $100 million of notes have previously  been issued.  No
notes were issued  during the quarter.  GATX  Capital has a $300  million  shelf
registration,  under which $68 million of  medium-term  notes were issued during
the quarter.  In  addition,  $22 million was issued  during the quarter  under a
previous shelf which has now been fully utilized.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Following is a discussion of the operating results of GATX's business segments:

                              -------          -------       ----------------

Gross Income                  $196.4           $175.6         $ 20.8      12%

Net Income                    $ 32.8           $ 30.9         $  1.9       6%

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Transportation's  gross income for the first half of 1996 increased 12% from the
comparable prior year period due to approximately  4,500 additional  railcars on
lease  compared to a year ago and slightly  higher  lease  rates.  Approximately
63,200 railcars were on lease at quarter end, including 800 in Mexico,  compared
to 58,700 a year ago.  Domestic fleet  utilization at June 30, 1996 was 94% on a
fleet size of 66,600 compared to 95% on a fleet size of 61,700 a year ago.

Net  income  increased  6% from the first  half of 1995.  Higher  revenues  were
partially  offset by  increased  ownership  costs and higher SG&A expense due in
part to  litigation  costs;  also,  1995  included a gain on the sale of land in
Mexico.  Operating  margins  increased  slightly as the revenue  growth rate was
slightly  more than the rate of increase of  operating  expenses.  Fleet  repair
costs were 5% greater  than in 1995 due to the  increased  fleet size;  however,
fleet repair  costs as a percent of revenue  were lower than last year.  Average
throughput at June 30, 1996, for railcars in GATX repair facilities decreased to
30 days, down from 44 days a year ago,  reflecting the improved  productivity at
Transportation's upgraded service centers.  Ownership costs,consisting of rental
expense,  depreciation,  and interest,  increased 18% due to the increased fleet
size.

Gross Income                  $145.8            $159.4        $(13.6)    (9)%

Net Income                    $  9.3            $ 16.7        $ (7.4)   (44)%

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Terminals'  1996 gross income  decreased 9% reflecting  general  softness in the
petroleum  markets as pricing and/or  utilization  issues continue to impact the
domestic  and   international   markets.   Lower   petroleum   inventories   and
backwardation  in the futures market continue to negatively  impact revenue.  On
the positive side,  pipeline volumes remain strong due to continued high demand,
and the chemical markets remain stable. Throughput of 344 million barrels was 9%
greater  than  last  year,  primarily  as a result of the  colder  winter in the
Northeast  and  increased  inventory  turns  of  customers'  products.  Capacity
utilization  at  Terminals'  wholly-owned  facilities  was 86% at the end of the
second  quarter of 1996  compared to 88% a year ago as reduced spot business and
tanks out of service for repair contributed to the reduction.

Terminals' net income decreased $7 million from 1995 reflecting  weakness in the
domestic  and  international  petroleum  markets.  Operating  margins  decreased
slightly  as a  result  of a  greater  decrease  in  revenues  relative  to cost
reductions  achieved.  Terminals'  operating expenses were $5 million lower than
last year primarily due to lower maintenance costs,  insurance  recoveries,  and
savings in various other operating costs.  Interest expense increased $3 million
over 1995 as total debt grew to finance  the  capital  additions.  Equity in net
earnings of affiliated  companies of $6 million decreased $1 million principally
due to lower  results at the  Singapore  and  Belgium  terminals  as a result of
reduced petroleum activity,  partially offset by increased earnings at the Kobe,
Japan, terminal which has been completely restored after last year's earthquake,
and incremental earnings from the newly-acquired Olympic pipeline.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Financial Services'  year-to-date gross income increased 15% from the first half
of 1995 as a result of new lease volume and the  acquisition of Sun Financial in
late 1995. Pretax disposition gains, which do not occur evenly period to period,
were $18 million for the first half of 1996 compared to $24 million in 1995. Fee
income  decreased  $5  million  as 1995  included  a large fee  relating  to the
remarketing of rail equipment.  Other income increased $3 million as a result of
real estate sales,  venture leasing stock sales, and incremental income from Sun
Financial.

Net income decreased $2 million as a result of the lower  disposition  gains and
fee income and higher interest, SG&A and operating lease expenses. The provision
for possible losses of $7 million  decreased $2 million from the prior year. The
loss  reserve  at June 30,  1996 was $105  million  compared  to $92  million at
December 31, 1995, reflecting the year-to-date provision and recoveries.

American  Steamship  Company's  gross  income  for the  first  half of 1996  was
slightly below the prior year period due to severe weather and ice conditions in
April and May which significantly hampered vessel operations at the start of the
sailing  season.  Overall  demand on the Great  Lakes  remains  strong.  Tonnage
carried in the first six months of 1996 was 8.3  million  tons  compared  to 8.8
million tons in the first six months of 1995.

Net income decreased $1 million from the first six months of 1995 reflecting the
decreased tonnage carried.  Further,  margins decreased as increased revenue per
ton was more than offset by higher operating costs as severe weather  conditions
impeded efficient vessel operations.

GATX  Logistics'  gross income of $139  million  increased 7% from the first six
months of 1995. Strong volumes with certain existing customers, price increases,
and new customers all contributed to the higher revenues.

Net income was $.4  million  compared  to a loss of $.1 million in the first six
months  of 1995.  Margins  improved  slightly  as the  increased  volume,  price
increases,  and reduced empty space cost in public  warehousing  were  partially
offset by higher information system costs.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

On  July  11,  1996,  GATX/Airlog  Company  ("Airlog"),   a  California  general
partnership of which a subsidiary of GATX Capital  Corporation  (a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of GATX  Corporation  ("Capital")  is a partner,  and Capital filed a
Complaint for Declaratory  Judgment against  Evergreen  International  Airlines,
Inc. ("Evergreen") in the United States District Court for the Northern District
of California  (No. C 96-2494).  The  complaint  requests that the court enter a
judgment  declaring  that  neither  Capital  nor  Airlog  has any  liability  to
Evergreen as a result of the issuance of Airworthiness  Directive  96-01-03 (the
"AD") by the Federal  Aviation  Administration  (the "FAA") in January 1996. The
effect of the AD is to  significantly  reduce the  amount of freight  that three
B747  aircraft  owned by  Evergreen  may carry.  Evergreen  has not flown  these
aircraft since the first quarter of 1996.

Between 1988 and 1990, these three aircraft, along with a fourth no longer owned
by Evergreen,  were modified from passenger to freight service by subcontractors
of Airlog, with Evergreen's knowledge and consent, pursuant to contracts between
Airlog and Evergreen, or one of its affiliates.  These four aircraft are part of
a group of ten aircraft that were modified by  subcontractors of Airlog pursuant
to a design approved by the FAA at the time the modifications  were made and are
subject  to the AD.  The three  Evergreen  aircraft  were flown as a part of its
fleet for more than five years, and the seven other modified aircraft were flown
by Evergreen and other operators for  significant  periods.  Capital  guaranteed
certain of Airlog's contractual obligations to Evergreen.  Capital did not issue
guarantees  with  respect  to  Airlog's  obligations  to any of  Airlog's  other
customers for these airplanes. None of Airlog's customers, other than Evergreen,
has made a claim as a result  of the  issuance  of the AD.  Consistent  with its
ongoing  product  support,   Airlog  continues  to  pursue,  with  the  apparent
cooperation of the four operators of the ten modified aircraft, solutions to the
FAA's concerns raised in the AD.

Evergreen  filed  an  answer  and   counterclaim  on  August  1,  1996.  In  its
counterclaim, Evergreen asserted that Airlog and Capital are liable to Evergreen
under a number of theories in connection  with the  application of the AD to the
three aircraft it currently owns.  Those theories are breach of warranty,  fraud
and   intentional    misrepresentation,    negligent   misrepresentation,    and
nondisclosure of known facts. Evergreen seeks declaratory relief and damages (i)
of a minimum of $32,000 per day in out-of-service  costs per airplane,  totaling
$15.8 million as of July 25, 1996,  (ii) of at least $1.6 million in maintenance
and  engineering  expenses  as  of  March,  1996,  and  (iii)  for  the  alleged
potentially irreparable injury to Evergreen's relations with its customers,  its
creditors  and its  employees,  as well as its alleged  access to the  currently
favorable  capital  markets.  The  alleged  damages  in  (iii)  above  were  not
quantified in the  counterclaim,  but Evergreen  alleged in a demand letter sent
prior  to  the  filing  of  the  complaint,   and  which  was  attached  to  the
counterclaim,   that  those  damages  may  exceed  one  billion   dollars.   The
counterclaim also seeks exemplary and punitive damages in an unspecified amount.
While the results of any litigation  are  impossible to predict with  certainty,
the Company believes that Evergreen's  claims are without merit and that Capital
and Airlog have adequate defenses thereto.
