                         Report of Independent Auditors

Employee Benefits Committee
GATX Logistics, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the GATX Logistics, Inc. Cash Accumulation Plan as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, and the related statements of changes in assets available for benefits for
the years then ended. 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 assets available for benefits of the Plan at December
31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in its assets available for benefits for the
years then ended, in conformity with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1999, is presented for purposes
of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements
but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the
Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.

                   GATX Logistics, Inc. Cash Accumulation Plan

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                                December 31, 1999

NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices or
redemption value. Participant loans are recorded at carrying value which
approximates fair value.

All costs and expenses incurred with regard to the purchase and sale of
investments are borne by the GATX Logistics, Inc. (the Company) Cash
Accumulation Plan (the Plan) and are included in the realized gain (loss) on
sale of investments. Administrative and general expenses are paid by the
participants of the Plan.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles necessarily requires management to make estimates
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as
well as revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts when
ultimately realized could differ from those estimates.

Certain amounts in the 1998 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 1999 presentation.

NOTE B - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Plan is a defined contribution plan subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as amended (ERISA), and was
established to afford employees an opportunity to save systematically for
retirement. The Plan covers all employees of the Company who have completed one
year of employment with at least 1,000 hours of service and are at least
twenty-one years of age.

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

NOTE B - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN - CONTINUED

An eligible participant may elect to have the Company deposit amounts to the
Plan on his or her behalf through the execution of salary reduction agreements
as provided under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and its
regulations. Participant contributions can range from 1% to 16% of a
participant's compensation but cannot exceed the limit ($10,000 for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1999) on elective deferrals according to Section
402(g)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company contributes to the Plan for
each participant who is an active employee as of the end of each month, an
amount equal to the participant contribution made for such month up to 4% of the
participant's compensation.

Effective January 1, 1999, the Plan's vesting policy was amended such that a
participant shall be fully vested at all times in the account value of his
employer contributions account.

Upon termination of employment, disability or death, a participant or
beneficiary may elect to receive either a lump-sum equal to the value of his or
her account, or equal monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual installments over a
period not to exceed ten years.

Participants may elect to have their contributions invested in the Putnam
Voyager Fund, Managed Income Portfolio II, Puritan Fund, Spartan US Equity
Index, Equity Income, GATX Common Stock, Dreyfus New Leaders, Templeton Foreign
Fund, Fidelity Freedom Income Fund, Fidelity Freedom 2000, Fidelity Freedom
2010, Fidelity Freedom 2020, Fidelity Freedom 2030, or in a combination of any
of the funds in multiples of 5% in each fund selected.

Active participants may obtain loans from the Plan at any time. The maximum loan
amount is subject to certain restrictions and each loan is secured by the
participant's account balance.

Each month each participant's contribution and the Company's matching
contribution is credited to each participant's account. Non-vested amounts which
were forfeited prior to January 1, 1999, are used periodically to reduce the
amount of the Company's matching contribution. The balance of the forfeiture
account at December 31, 1999 and 1998 was $48,371 and $182,320, respectively.
Investment gains or losses (realized and unrealized) are allocated, based on
previous business day's quoted market prices, to each participant's account in
the proportion that each participant's account bears to the total of all account
balances.

NOTE B - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN - CONTINUED

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

NOTE C - INVESTMENTS

The Plan held the following individual investments representing 5% or more of
Plan net assets at year-end:

NOTE D - MASTER TRUST

The Plan includes an interest in the GATX Corporation Common Stock Fund which is
part of a Master Trust which includes the assets of three GATX Corporation (the
Parent) benefit plans: the Plan; the GATX Corporation Hourly Employees
Retirement Savings Plan; and the GATX Corporation Salaried Employees Retirement
Savings Plan. The Plan's investment in the Master Trust is stated at the Plan's
equity in the net assets of the Master Trust at December 31, 1999 and 1998.

NOTE E - FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
dated August 2, 1995, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, therefore, the related trust is
exempt from taxation. Accordingly, the Plan is required to operate in conformity
with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan has been amended since
receiving the determination letter. The administrator is not aware of any course
