Securities and Exchange Commission Comment Letter
Form 10-K
Year-Ended December 31, 2005
File No. 001-08319
          In accordance with your request, our responses correspond to the comment numbers in your letter dated September 22, 2006. Please note throughout this response letter that “GATX” refers to GATX Corporation and “GFC” refers to GATX Financial Corporation.
Comment No. 1
          We note that you have shares of common stock and preferred stock outstanding as of December 31, 2005 and 2004. Although it appears from your disclosures elsewhere in the filing that GATX Corporation owns all your outstanding shares of stock, we believe that your notes to the financial statements should still include the disclosures required by SFAS No. 129. Please revise your notes to the financial statements in future filings to include the number of shares authorized, issued, and outstanding and the par value or stated value of those shares. Also, please disclose the rights and privileges of the various securities outstanding and any liquidation preferences of the preferred stock. See paragraphs 4-7 of SFAS No. 129.
Response No. 1
          We agree. In future filings, we will include all required disclosures for GFC’s shares of common and preferred stock, all of which are owned by GATX Corporation, in accordance with SFAS No. 129.

Comment No. 2
          We note that you present interest expense as “net” on the statements of income. In future filings, please revise your statements of income to separately present interest expense and interest income, to the extent the amounts are material. See Rule 5-03(b)(7) and (8) of Regulation S-X.
Response No. 2
          We agree. We have historically presented interest income earned from our loan portfolio on the Income Statement as part of Gross Income and netted interest income earned on cash deposits against interest expense. The amounts of interest income netted against interest expense were $2.5 million, $1.7 million and $5.7 million for 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. In future filings, we will separately present interest income and interest expense, if material.

Comment No. 3
          We note that several of the cash payments and receipts related to your financing activities are presented on a “net” basis rather than “gross” basis. Generally, we believe that information about the gross amounts of cash receipts and cash payments during a period is more relevant than information about the net amounts of cash receipts and payments. Please revise future filings so that your presentation of cash receipts and payments are presented on a gross basis, unless net presentation is allowed by paragraphs 11-13 of SFAS No. 95.
Response No. 3
          We agree that reporting gross amounts of cash receipts and cash disbursements is more relevant than reporting such amounts on a net basis. However, we believe that the cash receipts and disbursements reported in the financing activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows meets the requirements of SFAS No. 95 in all material respects.
          “Net proceeds from issuance of debt” reflects debt issuance proceeds net of direct issuance costs, not the netting of proceeds and repayments of debt. We will modify this description in future filings to clarify this activity.
          “Net (decrease) increase in commercial paper and bank facilities” reflects cash receipts and payments related to debt, the original maturity of which is three months or less. We will modify this description in future filings to clarify that this amount is limited to activity for debt with original maturities of 90 days or less.
          “Net decrease in capital lease obligations” only reflects gross payments made with respect to our capital lease obligations. We will modify this description in future filings to clarify that the amount presented only reflects gross payments.
          In future filings we will present “Advances (to) from GATX Corporation” on a gross basis.

Comment No. 4
          We note your presentation of cash flows of discontinued operations at the bottom of the statements of cash flows. Please revise your presentation in future filings to include the cash flows of discontinued operations as an operating activity, investing activity, or financing activity, as applicable. Also, please revise your statements of cash flows to present in a manner that reconciles beginning and ending cash and cash equivalents by stating the total cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the year. Additionally, information about all investing and financing activities of an enterprise during a period that affect recognized assets or liabilities but that do not result in cash receipts or cash payments in the period (noncash transactions) shall be reported in related disclosures. See paragraph 26, 29 and 32 of SFAS No. 95 and SEC Speech from the 33rd Annual AICPA National Conference on current SEC and PCAOB Developments held on December 5-7, 2005.
Response No. 4
          As part of our preparation of the 2005 financial statements we considered the guidance provided in the SEC speech at the 33rd Annual AICPA National Conference on current SEC and PCAOB Developments (held December 5-7, 2005) and presented cash flows from discontinued operations in one of the alternative formats deemed appropriate by the staff: “Identify cash flows from discontinued operations for each category and present them separately from cash flows from continuing operations (i.e. present them in a separate section including cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities).” As a result, we believe our reporting was appropriate. In addition, we desire to prepare future filings on a similar basis as we believe disaggregating discontinued operations from continuing operations provides the user with a more relevant presentation of cash flows.
          We agree with your observations regarding the reconciliation of beginning and ending cash and cash equivalents as well as the reporting of non-cash activity. We will revise future filings to incorporate these requirements.

Comment No. 5
          We note your disclosure that marine operating revenue is recognized as shipping services are performed and revenue is allocated among reporting periods based on the relative transit time in each reporting period for shipments in process at any month end. Please tell us when expenses are recognized for shipping services. If you recognize expenses other than as the expenses are incurred, please tell us why you believe your accounting policy is appropriate. See EITF 91-9.
Response No. 5
          “Marine operations” is comprised solely of the business of American Steamship Company (ASC), a wholly owned subsidiary of GFC. ASC owns and operates a fleet of self-unloading vessels on the Great Lakes. The “sailing season” for ASC is primarily dependent on sailing conditions on the lakes, which are particularly affected by the formation of ice, and generally runs from April 1st to December 31st.
          ASC classifies expenses as either direct or indirect. Direct expenses consist primarily of crewing costs, fuel, tugs, vessel supplies, running repairs and insurance costs, and are recognized as incurred. Indirect expenses consist of repairs and maintenance, depreciation, interest and SG&A. Indirect expenses incurred prior to the beginning of the sailing season are deferred and amortized ratably over the subsequent sailing season, April 1st through December 31st. Indirect expenses incurred during the sailing season are recognized as incurred.
          Our policy for deferring indirect expenses incurred prior to the sailing season is based upon the accounting guidance provided by APB 28, Interim Financial Reporting, specifically paragraphs 15, 15a, 16 and 16a. We believe this policy for expense recognition for indirect costs is preferable to the “as incurred” methodology because ASC’s operating cycle is less than a full year. In particular, this method provides a better matching of applicable expenses against related revenue as well as improved comparability across interim periods. For example, vessel maintenance and repairs are in large part performed when the fleet is in “lay up” status, i.e. during the winter months when the vessels are not operating. We believe recognizing these expenses during the period when the vessels are not operating and not generating revenue distorts interim financial results. Likewise, if during the sailing season (April 1st through December 31st), interim results are reported without inclusion of lay-up maintenance and repairs, we believe the profitability of ASC’s operations is potentially overstated. We note for the benefit of the staff that full year results are the same using either methodology. In future filings, we will disclose ASC’s expense recognition methodology in more detail in our Significant Accounting Policies.

          We note your disclosure that you have ownership interests in certain investments that are considered VIEs in which you do not believe you are the primary beneficiary. Please tell us, and disclose in future filings, the nature of your involvement with the variable interest entity and when that involvement began, and the nature, purpose, size, and activities of the variable interest entity. See paragraph 24 of FIN 46(R).
Response No. 6
          Upon adoption of FIN 46(R) in 2003, GFC performed a comprehensive analysis of its investments for the application of FIN 46(R). This analysis focused on GFC’s investments in affiliated companies but also included other investments that may have had VIE characteristics. GFC continues to evaluate new investments for the application of FIN46(R) and regularly reviews all existing VIE’s in connection with any reconsideration events as defined in FIN 45(R) that may result in GFC becoming the primary beneficiary. See Exhibit 1 for a summary of supplemental information related to GFC’s investments classified as VIE’s.
          In future filings, we will include additional disclosures regarding VIE’s in the notes to the financial statements.

          We note that as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 you had $9.3 and $13.8, respectively, of impaired loans for which you have recorded an allowance for possible losses of $2.7 million and $5.7 million, respectively. In future filings, please include disclosure of the amount of the impaired loans for which there is a related allowance for credit losses and the amount of that allowance, and the amount of the impaired loans for which there is no related allowance for credit losses. Also, please disclose the related amount, if any, of interest income recognized during the time within that period that the loans were impaired. See paragraphs 6 and 24 of SFAS No. 118.
Response No. 7
          We agree. In future filings, we will disclose the amount of impaired loans for which there is a related allowance for credit losses and the amount of that allowance, and the amount of impaired loans for which there is no related allowance for credit losses, if material. In addition, we will disclose the related amount, if any, of interest income recognized during the time within that period that the loans were impaired, if material.

          We note that although your investments in affiliated companies contribute significantly to your results of operations, you have not provided separate financial statements for any of those investments. Please provide us your analysis of the significance of your investments in affiliated companies that was performed in order to determine compliance with the requirements of Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X.
Response No. 8
          GFC has ownership interests in a number of affiliated companies and joint ventures. Annually, the Company analyzes the significance of these investments in accordance with Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X. See analysis attached on Exhibit 2. Based on this review, none of the investments required the inclusion of separate financial statements.

Comment No. 9
          We note from the disclosure provided in Note 14 that the Company’s financial statements include pension and post-retirement benefit costs which are allocated to the Company by its parent. Please tell us and clarify in the notes to the financial statements whether the Company’s financial statements include any other costs that have been allocated to it by its parent. If so, please revise the notes to the Company’s financial statements to disclose the amount of costs allocated to the Company by its parent during each period present along with an explanation of the method or methods used to allocate these costs and a representation by the Company’s management that the methods used to allocate costs are reasonable. Additionally, if practicable, please provide an estimate by management of the amount of costs that would have been incurred had the Company operated as a stand alone entity during the periods presented.
Response No. 9
          GATX, the parent company of GFC, allocates to GFC an estimate of various corporate costs incurred on its behalf. These costs include direct expenses that are clearly applicable to GFC as well as an allocation of expenses that relate to administration and support activities performed at the corporate office. Directly attributable expenses include occupancy, insurance, pension / OPEB, employee group insurance, savings plan benefits and share based compensation. These expenses are allocated based on specific identification if available, or otherwise readily available measures such as square footage for occupancy or headcount for employee related programs. Administration and support includes services such as information technology, human resources, employee benefits, risk management, legal, and tax. Generally, these amounts are allocated based on an estimate of corporate resources utilized by GFC. The method of allocation in these instances may vary depending on the services provided, and may include a proportional method, incremental cost method or other methodology as applicable. The total amounts allocated to GFC were $50.7 million, $55.6 million, and $33.1 million for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company’s management believes this allocation methodology to be reasonable.
          The amount of costs that would have been incurred had GFC operated as a stand alone entity is highly judgmental. However, based on the methodology outlined above, management believes that under similar facts and circumstances, actual expenses incurred would not be materially different from amounts allocated.
          In future filings we will provide additional disclosure in the notes to the financial statements with respect to parent company expenses allocated to GFC.

          We note the disclosure in Note 15 indicating that the Company and its subsidiaries have been named as defendants or co-defendants in cases alleging injury related to asbestos and that are seeking damages based on common law, statutory or premises liability or for liability under the Jones Act. Please revise future filings to include disaggregated disclosures that include the number of claims filed for each period presented, the number of claims dismissed, settled or resolved each period and the average settlement amount per claim. Your revised disclosures should also address historical trends in these amounts and their reasonably likely effects on operating results and liquidity. Refer to the guidance outlined in SAB Topic 5:Y, question 3.
Response No. 10
          We agree. We will revise future filings to include disaggregated disclosures regarding asbestos related claims, if material. Specifically, we will disclose relevant information including claims history and settlement activity, as well as historical trends and their reasonably likely effects on operations and liquidity, if material.
