Documents Incorporated by Reference
Portions of the GATX Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended
December 31, 2000, are incorporated by reference into Parts I and II. Portions
of GATX's proxy statement dated March 30, 2001, are incorporated by reference

PART I
Item 1. Business
During 2000, GATX Corporation redefined its strategic focus and undertook
initiatives to position itself as a specialized finance and leasing company. To
accomplish this goal, certain supply chain related businesses of the GATX
Integrated Solutions Group (ISG) were sold in 2000 and all remaining ISG
businesses have been targeted for divestiture in 2001. As a result of these
actions, the financial data for the ISG segment is presented as discontinued
operations for all periods presented.
GATX Corporation now has two operating segments: Financial Services and GATX
Rail. Through these businesses, GATX combines asset knowledge and services,
structuring expertise, creative partnering and risk capital to serve customers
and partners worldwide. Information concerning financial data of business
segments and the basis for grouping products or services is contained in Exhibit
13, GATX Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2000 on
pages 53 and 54, which is incorporated herein by reference (page references are
to the Annual Report to Shareholders).
Industry Segments
Financial Services
Financial Services represents GATX Capital Corporation and its subsidiaries and
affiliates, which arrange and service the financing of equipment and other
capital assets on a worldwide basis, and American Steamship Company, which
operates self-unloading vessels on the Great Lakes. Headquartered in San
Francisco, California, Financial Services provides financing primarily to the
aircraft, rail, technology, venture finance and marine industries. These
financings, which are held within Financial Services' own portfolio and through
partnerships with coinvestors, are structured as leases and secured loans, and
frequently include interests in an asset's residual value and warrants of
non-public start-up companies. For its transaction structuring and portfolio
management services, Financial Services receives fees at the time a transaction
is completed, an asset is remarketed, and/or on an ongoing basis.
Financial Services primarily competes with captive leasing companies, leasing
subsidiaries of commercial banks, independent leasing companies, lease brokers,
investment bankers, financing arms of equipment manufacturers, and other Great
Lakes commercial fleets. No single customer accounts for more than 5% of
Financial Services' revenues. In addition to its San Francisco home office,
Financial Services has 8 domestic and 18 foreign offices.
GATX Rail
GATX Rail (Rail), is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Rail is principally
engaged in leasing specialized railcars, primarily tank cars, under full service
leases. As of December 31, 2000, its North American fleet consisted of
approximately 91,600 railcars, comprised of 70,000 tank cars and 21,600
specialized freight cars. In addition to 79,800 railcars in the United States,
Rail has 9,100 railcars in its Canadian fleet and 2,700 railcars in its Mexican
fleet. The utilization rate of Rail's North American railcar fleet at December
31, 2000 was approximately 93%. Rail's railcars have a depreciable life of 20 to
33 years and an average age of approximately 16 years.
In addition to the North American fleet, Rail's investments in affiliated
companies result in ownership interests in two European fleets. Rail owns a 46%
interest in KVG Kesselwagen Vermietgesellschaft mbH, a German and Austrian-based
tank car and specialty railcar leasing company, and an 18.8% interest in AAE
Cargo, headquartered in Switzerland. In March 2001, a subsidiary of Rail
purchased Dyrekcja Eksploatacji Cystern (DEC), Poland's national tank car fleet
and fuel distribution company. DEC assets include 11,500 tank cars and a
maintenance network.

3
Rail's customers use its railcars to ship over 700 different commodities,
primarily chemicals, petroleum, and food products. For 2000, approximately 44%
of railcar leasing revenue was attributable to shipments of chemical products,
31% to food and other products, and 25% to petroleum products. Rail leases
railcars to over 700 customers, including major chemical, oil, food and
agricultural companies. No single customer accounts for more than 3% of total
railcar leasing revenue.
Rail typically leases new railcars to its customers for a term of five years or
longer, whereas renewals or leases of existing cars are typically for periods
ranging from less than a year to seven years with an average lease term of about
three years. Rail purchases most of its new railcars from Trinity Industries,
Inc., a Dallas-based metal products manufacturer. Under its full service leases,
Rail maintains and services its railcars, pays ad valorem taxes, and provides
many ancillary services. As of December 31, 2000, Rail operates a network of
major service centers consisting of four domestic, four Canadian and one Mexican
facility. To supplement these nine major service centers, Rail utilizes a fleet
of mobile trucks and also utilizes independent third-party repair shops.
Subsequent to year-end 2000, Rail closed one of its service centers, located in
East Chicago, IN.
The full-service railcar leasing industry is comprised of Rail, Union Tank Car
Company, General Electric Railcar Services Corporation, and various financial
institutions. As of the end of 2000, Rail had 24% of the 271,100 tank cars owned
and leased in the United States. Principal competitive factors include price,
service and availability.
Discontinued Operations - Integrated Solutions Group
Integrated Solutions Group (ISG) consisted of GATX Terminals Corporation
(Terminals), GATX Logistics, Inc. (Logistics) and minor business development
efforts that provided logistics and supply chain services related to chemicals,
petroleum, and dry goods. In May 2000, GATX divested 81% of Logistics. The
remaining 19% of Logistics was sold in December 2000. In July 2000, GATX
announced its intent to sell Terminals and reached an agreement in November to
sell substantially all of the U.S. terminals and pipeline assets, representing
the bulk of Terminals' operations. A portion of this transaction closed in March
2001 and the remainder is expected to close following regulatory approval. GATX
expects to complete the divestiture of the remaining terminals and supply chain
businesses in 2001.
Trademarks, Patents and Research Activities
Patents, trademarks, licenses, and research and development activities are not
material to these businesses taken as a whole.
Seasonal Nature of Business
Marine shipping operations are seasonal due to the effects of winter weather
conditions on the Great Lakes. However, seasonality is not considered
significant to the operations of GATX and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.
Customer Base
GATX as a whole is not dependent upon a single customer or a few customers.
2
4
Employees
GATX and its subsidiaries have approximately 3,200 employees, of whom 36% are
hourly employees covered by union contracts. Employees for continuing operations
were approximately 2,300, of whom 40% are hourly employees covered by union
contracts.
Environmental Matters
Certain operations of GATX's subsidiaries (collectively GATX) present potential
environmental risks principally through the transportation or storage of various
commodities. Recognizing that some risk to the environment is intrinsic to its
operations, GATX is committed to protecting the environment as well as complying
with applicable environmental protection laws and regulations. GATX, as well as
its competitors, is subject to extensive regulation under federal, state and
local environmental laws which have the effect of increasing the costs and
liabilities associated with the conduct of its operations. In addition, GATX's
foreign operations are subject to environmental laws in effect in each
respective jurisdiction.
GATX's policy is to monitor and actively address environmental concerns in a
responsible manner. GATX has received notices from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) that it is a potentially responsible party (PRP) for
study and cleanup costs at 13 sites under the requirements of the Federal
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980
(Superfund). Under these Acts and comparable state laws, GATX may be required to
share in the cost to clean up various contaminated sites identified by the EPA
and other agencies. GATX has also received notice that it is a PRP at one site
to undertake a Natural Resource Damage Assessment. In all instances, GATX is one
of a number of financially responsible PRPs and has been identified as
contributing only a small percentage of the contamination at each of the sites.
Due to various factors such as the required level of remediation or restoration
and participation in cleanup or restoration efforts by others, GATX's total
cleanup costs at these sites cannot be predicted with certainty; however, GATX's
best estimates for remediation and restoration of these sites have been
determined and are included in its environmental reserves.
Future costs of environmental compliance are indeterminable due to unknowns such
as the magnitude of possible contamination, the timing and extent of the
corrective actions that may be required, the determination of the company's
liability in proportion to other responsible parties, and the extent to which
such costs are recoverable from third parties including insurers. Also, GATX may
incur additional costs relating to facilities and sites where past operations
followed practices and procedures that were considered acceptable at the time
but in the future may require investigation and/or remedial work to ensure
adequate protection to the environment under current or future standards. If
future laws and regulations contain more stringent requirements than presently
anticipated, expenditures may be higher than the estimates, forecasts, and
assessments of potential environmental costs provided below. However, these
costs are expected to be at least equal to the current level of expenditures. In
addition, GATX has provided indemnities for environmental issues to the buyers
of three divested companies for which GATX believes it has adequate reserves.
GATX's environmental reserve at the end of 2000 was $83.2 million and reflects
GATX's best estimate of the cost to remediate known environmental conditions.
Additions to the reserve were $9.3 million in 2000 and $11.7 million in 1999.
Expenditures charged to the reserve amounted to $11.8 million and $7.6 million
in 2000 and 1999, respectively.
In 2000, GATX made capital expenditures of $8.1 million for environmental and
regulatory compliance, which was comparable to 1999. These projects included
marine vapor recovery systems, discharge prevention compliance, waste water
systems, impervious dikes, tank modifications for emissions control, and tank
car cleaning systems.
In November 2000, GATX entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of
the U.S. terminals and pipeline assets, representing the bulk of Terminals'
operations. This transaction is structured as a sale of
3
5
the capital stock of Terminals. Under the terms of the agreement various
environmental liabilities associated with the terminals and pipeline assets will
be assumed by the buyer. Excluding the liabilities associated with the sale of
the Terminals' operations, GATX's environmental reserve at the end of 2000 was
$46.2 million.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
GATX Capital Corporation (Capital), a subsidiary of GATX Corporation (the
Company), is a party to actions arising from the issuance by the Federal
Aviation Administration (the FAA) in January 1996 of Airworthiness Directive
96-01-03 (the AD). The AD had the effect of significantly reducing the amount of
freight that ten 747 aircraft could carry. These aircraft (the Affected
Aircraft) were modified from passenger to freighter configuration by GATX/Airlog
Company (Airlog), a California general partnership. A subsidiary of Capital,
GATX Aircraft Corporation, is a partner in Airlog. The modifications were
carried out between 1988 and 1994 by subcontractors of Airlog under authority of
Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) issued by the FAA in 1987 pursuant to a
design approved by the FAA. In the AD, the FAA stated that the STCs were issued
"in error."
On July 11, 1996, Airlog 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. C96-2494) with respect to
three Affected Aircraft seeking a declaration that neither Airlog nor Capital
had any liability to Evergreen as a result of the issuance of the AD. Evergreen
filed an answer and counterclaim on August 1, 1996, which asserted that Airlog
and Capital were liable to it under a number of legal theories in connection
with the application of the AD to its three Affected Aircraft. Evergreen alleged
approximately $160 million in compensatory damages and also sought unspecified
punitive damages.

On January 31, 1997, American International Airways, Inc. (AIA) filed a
complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of
California (C97-0378) against Airlog, Capital, Airlog Management Corp., and
others asserting that Airlog and Capital were liable to it under a number of
legal theories in connection with the application of the AD to two Affected
Aircraft owned by AIA. The Complaint sought damages (to be trebled under one
count of the complaint) of an unspecified amount relating to lost revenues, lost
profits, denied access to capital markets, repair costs, disruption of its
business plan, lost business opportunities, maintenance and engineering costs,
and other additional consequential, direct, incidental and related damages. The
complaint asked in the alternative for a rescission of AIA's agreements with
Airlog, a return of amounts paid, and for injunctive relief directing that
Airlog, and certain individual defendants, properly staff and manage the
correction of the alleged deficiencies that caused the FAA to issue the AD. The
AIA claim was assigned to Kalitta Air (Kalitta Air). Kalitta Air alleged $480
million in compensatory damages, trebling of such damages pursuant to 18 U.S.C.
1964, prejudgment interest and unspecified punitive damages.
On June 4, 1997, Tower Air, Inc. filed an action in the Supreme Court of the
State of New York, County of New York (Index No. 97/602851) against Capital,
Airlog, an officer of Capital and others with respect to one Affected Aircraft
it leased and subsequently purchased from a trust for the benefit of an
affiliate of Airlog. This action asserted causes of action in fraud and deceit,
negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract and negligence and sought
damages in excess of $25 million together with interest, costs, attorneys' fees
and unspecified punitive damages.
On February 25, 1998, The Bank of New York (BNY) filed an action, as purported
beneficial owner of one Affected Aircraft, in the United States District Court
for the Northern District of California (No. C98-0385) against Airlog, Capital
and others. This aircraft was originally converted by Airlog for Evergreen. This
action sought declaratory relief and asserted claims for breach of contract,
intentional misrepresentation, nondisclosure of known facts, negligence,
negligent misrepresentation and unfair competition. BNY alleged approximately
$19 million in compensatory damages, prejudgment interest and unspecified
punitive damages.
On June 15, 1998, General Electric Capital and PALC II, Inc. (collectively GECC)
filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District
of California (C98-2387) against Airlog, Capital, and others with respect to
three Affected Aircraft. These aircraft were modified in 1991 and 1992. GECC
asserted that the defendants were liable to it under a number of legal theories
in connection with the application of the AD to the three Affected Aircraft
owned by GECC. GECC alleged approximately $100 million in compensatory damages,
trebling of such damages pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 1964, prejudgment interest and
unspecified punitive damages.
Airlog, Capital, and others brought an action in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of California against Pemco Aeroplex, Inc.
(Pemco) (C97-2484WHO), a contractor for Airlog which actually obtained the STCs
and modified certain of the Affected Aircraft, seeking damages, costs and
expenses in connection with the resolution of the concerns of the FAA as
expressed in the AD, repairing the Affected Aircraft, defending against the
litigation involving the plaintiffs arising from the Affected Aircraft, paying
any judgments against plaintiffs that may have been entered in the litigation
and attorneys' fees. In February 2000, Airlog stipulated to the dismissal of
several of the causes of action against Pemco. The claims for contribution and
damages of Airlog, Capital and others against Pemco were barred as a result of
the settlements that Pemco reached with Evergreen and Kalitta. Consequently,
this action has been dismissed.
As a result of the actions discussed above, on July 24, 1998 Airlog filed an
action against the United States of America (C98-1029) in United States District
Court for the Western District of Washington to recover losses suffered by
Airlog as a result of the alleged negligence of the FAA in the development and
approval of the design to convert the Affected Aircraft from passenger to
freighter configuration. The complaint sought damages in excess of $8.3 million
representing the expenses incurred by Airlog in responding to the AD and legal
fees and costs incurred by Airlog in defending the litigation described
5
7
above. On August 27, 1999, the Court dismissed Airlog's action against the
United States. This dismissal was based on the Court's determination that the
governmental discretionary function exception to the Federal Tort Claims Act was
applicable to Airlog's claim. Airlog appealed that decision to the Circuit Court
of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On December 13, 2000, the Court of Appeals
affirmed the judgment of the District Court. Airlog has filed a petition with
the Court of Appeals seeking en banc review of the ruling of the court.
Elsinore Aerospace Services LP (Elsinore) was a defendant in the AIA suit
against Airlog, Capital and others. Elsinore cross-claimed against Airlog and
brought a third-party claim against Capital for indemnification and defense
under its contract with Airlog. Under this contract, Elsinore was to develop
engineering, design and analysis necessary to develop Airlog's existing 747-100
STC's into STC's for converting 747-200 aircraft from passenger to freighter
configuration. One Affected Aircraft was converted for AIA under STC's obtained
pursuant to the Elsinore contract. On August 11, 2000, the United States
District Court for the Northern District of California granted Elsinore's motion
for summary judgment against Airlog on this cross-claim. Capital and Airlog
believe the Court's ruling is in error both as a matter of law and application
of the facts of this claim and intend to appeal the Court's ruling.
Trial of the claims of Evergreen and Kalitta Air with respect to the remaining
five aircraft began January 8, 2001 and concluded March 1. Prior to trial,
Capital settled with Tower, BNY, GECC, and during the trial with Evergreen in
each case for undisclosed amounts. At the conclusion of the trial, the jury
awarded Kalitta Air a total of $30.3 million for replacement of its two Affected
Aircraft as damages for breach of contract, and $47.5 million plus interest for
lost profits as damages for fraud by omission. Under instructions provided by
the court to the jury, Kalitta Air is entitled to the higher of the two amounts.
The net after-tax impact of the resolution of the five Airlog cases, including
Evergreen, is $97.6 million, excluding any post-judgment interest expense. This
is Capital's maximum liability for all Airlog-related matters, and does not
reflect the fact that Capital will aggressively pursue all means of loss
recovery including appeals and insurance.
Calnev Pipe Line Company (Calnev), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of GATX
Terminals Holding Corporation, has agreed in a Compliance Order with Region 9 of
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to comply with and correct
certain alleged violations of the Clean Air Act. In general, the Order requires
Calnev to: (a) complete construction of a new vapor recovery unit in Las Vegas
and limit use of another; (b) comply with certain throughput limits and VOC
emission limits at the Las Vegas loading rack; (c) engage in certain record
keeping; and, (d) comply with certain authority and permitting requirements of
the EPA and the Clark County, Nevada, Health District. Calnev has not admitted
to any violation of permit, law or regulation. The United States of America, the
State of Nevada and Clark County have reserved the right to assess civil
penalties.
GATX and its subsidiaries are engaged in various matters of litigation and have
a number of unresolved claims pending, including proceedings under governmental
laws and regulations related to environmental matters. While the amounts claimed
are substantial, and the ultimate liability with respect to such litigation and
claims cannot be determined at this time, it is the opinion of management that
amounts, if any, required to be paid by GATX and its subsidiaries in the
discharge of such liabilities are not likely to be material to GATX's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Shareholders and Board of Directors
GATX Corporation
We have audited the consolidated financial statements and related schedules of
GATX Corporation and subsidiaries listed in Item 14 (a)(1) and (2) of the Annual
Report on Form 10-K of GATX Corporation and subsidiaries for the year ended
December 31, 2000. These financial statements and related schedules are the
responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and related schedules 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 and
related schedules are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements and related schedules. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of GATX
Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of
their operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement
schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken
as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth
therein.
