Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Employee Benefits Committee
GATX Corporation

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of the GATX Corporation Hourly Employees Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and 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, 2008 and 2007, and the changes in its assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles.

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 at end of year) as of December 31, 2008, 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 Corporation Hourly Employees Retirement Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Description of the Plan

The following description of the GATX Corporation (GATX or the Company) Hourly Employees Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

General

The Plan is a defined-contribution plan, established January 1, 1994, for hourly union employees of GATX, who have completed at least 520 hours of service within the last 12 months. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Contributions

Each year, participants may make basic contributions of 1% to 50% of eligible pretax compensation, as defined in the Plan (as defined), and participants who have attained the age of 50 before the close of the plan year may make catch-up contributions of 1% to 25% of eligible pretax compensation. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined-benefit or defined-contribution plans.

For participants at various union locations, the Company contributes on behalf of the participants a matching contribution of $0.50 for each $1.00 contributed by a participant, up to 6% of the participants’ compensation, beginning February 24, 2008. Prior to that date the Company contributed on behalf of the participants a matching contribution of $0.50 for each $1.00 contributed by a participant, up to 3% of the participants’ compensation, and an additional $0.25 for each $1.00 on the next 3% of the participants’ compensation. At its discretion, the Company may make an additional matching contribution for eligible participants. All contributions are made in cash and are deposited weekly. All contributions are subject to certain limitations of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code).

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, the Company’s contributions, and an allocation of the Plan’s earnings (losses). Allocations are based on account balances (as defined). The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s account.

Vesting

Participants are immediately 100% vested in their account balance.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)

Investment Options

Investment alternatives for participant contributions consist of the GATX Stock Fund, which is held in a Master Trust; the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II (the Fidelity MIP Fund), the Pyramis Select International Small Capitalization, the NTGI S&P 500 Index, the NTGI S&P 400 Index and the Pyramis Small Capitalization, which are all Common Collective Trusts; and selected mutual fund options available through Fidelity Management Trust Company.

Participants may change their investment options on any business day.

Benefit Payments

In the event of retirement (as defined), death, permanent disability, or termination of employment, the balance in the participant’s account will be distributed to the participant or the participant’s beneficiary in a single lump-sum cash payment. The portion of the participant’s account invested in GATX stock may be distributed in kind. In-service withdrawals are available to participants in the case of financial hardship (as defined). The Plan also allows for age 59 1/2 withdrawals (as defined).

Administrative Expenses

It is the intent of the Company to pay the administrative expenses of the Plan, but if the Company fails to make the payments, or so directs, there may be a charge against the Plan for these expenses.

Participant Loans

A participant may borrow an amount up to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the participant’s account balance. Such loans, which are payable over a term specified by the Plan, bear interest at a reasonable rate and are secured by the participant’s account balance in the Plan.

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of plan termination, participants remain 100% vested in their account balances.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Changes

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 — The Plan adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (SFAS 157) effective January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” The application of the provisions of SFAS 157 had no effect on the Plan’s statements of assets available for benefits or statements of changes in assets available for benefits. See Note 4 for a complete discussion of SFAS 157.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

Shares of mutual funds, which are traded on an active exchange, are valued at quoted market prices. Interest in Master Trust, which is primarily comprised of the GATX Stock Fund (the Fund), is tracked on a unitized basis and consists of shares of GATX common stock and cash sufficient to meet the Fund’s daily cash needs held in the Fidelity Cash Reserves Fund. Unitizing the Fund allows for daily trades into and out of the Fund. The value of a unit reflects the combined market value of GATX common stock, which is traded on an active exchange, and the cash investments held by the Fund. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the value of a unit was $19.07 and $21.92, respectively. Interests in collective trusts, excluding the Fidelity MIP Fund, are valued based on the market value of the underlying securities held by the trusts, which are traded on an active exchange market.

The Fidelity MIP Fund contains investments in fully benefit-responsive insurance contracts that provide that the Plan may make withdrawals at contract value for benefit-responsive requirements. The Fidelity MIP Fund value is determined by the fund manager using a pricing model with inputs (such as yield curves and credit spreads) that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. The Plan’s interest in the Fidelity MIP Fund is presented at fair value in the statements of assets available for benefits, with an adjustment to its contract value separately disclosed. The contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The contract value of the Fidelity MIP Fund represents contributions plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

A summary of the fair value and contract value of the Plan’s interest in the Fidelity MIP Fund is as follows:

	December 31
	2008		2007
At fair value	$	1,581,486	$	1,523,784
At contract value		1,519,811		1,512,319

Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Contributions

Participant contributions are made through payroll deductions and are recorded in the period the deductions are made.

3. Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of assets available for benefits.

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Plan adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 applies to all financial instruments being measured and reported on a fair value basis.

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — Quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities of the Plan. Financial instruments of the Plan included in Level 1 are investments in Mutual Funds and Master Trust investments.

Level 2 — Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Financial instruments included in this category are the Plan’s interests in Collective Trusts.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. At December 31, 2008, the Plan’s Level 3 financial instruments were participant loans.

The balances of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2008, were as follows:

Assets	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Mutual Funds	$	1,870,707	$	1,870,707		—		—
Collective Trusts	$	2,722,258		—	$	2,722,258		—
Master Trust	$	807,631	$	807,631		—		—
Participant Loans	$	486,075		—		—	$	486,075

The table below lists the summary of changes in the fair value of the Plan’s Level 3 assets for the year ended December 31, 2008:

	Participant Loans
Balance at beginning of the year	$	386,364
Additions, net		99,711
Balance at end of year	$	486,075

6. Master Trust

The GATX Stock Fund is held in a Master Trust, which includes assets of the Plan and of 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, 2008 and 2007. All financial instruments held by the Master Trust are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized under SFAS 157 as Level 1 assets.

A summary of the net assets and the changes in net assets of the Master Trust is as follows:

	December 31
	2008			2007

Total income per the Form 5500, Schedule H	$	(739,306	)	$	1,553,953

9. Income Tax Status

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated October 22, 2002, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, and therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.

10. Related Party

The Plan invests in GATX common stock. GATX is the Plan’s sponsor, and therefore, such investments are party-in-interest transactions.
