ITEM 2.           ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

                  On November 1, 2001, Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies
Corporation ("Wabtec") completed the disposition of certain locomotive after
market assets to General Electric Company, acting through its GE Transportation
Systems business ("GETS"), for approximately $240 million in cash. The
transaction was consummated pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, entered
into on July 24, 2001. The assets consisted principally of locomotive after
market products and services for which Wabtec is not the original equipment
manufacturer. The purchase price of $240 million in cash was arrived at by
negotiation among the parties. In connection with the sale of assets to General
Electric, the Company has provided certain representations and warranties
customary to such a transaction, and an indemnification for breach thereof. The
Company does not expect to incur any material expenses in the future in regards
to this indemnity.




ITEM 7.           FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

                  (b)  Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information










             PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION



                                   (Unaudited)



The following Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are based on
the historical financial statements of Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies
Corporation ("Wabtec" or the "Company"), adjusted to give effect to the
disposition of certain locomotive aftermarket assets by the Company. The Pro
Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December
31, 2000 and the nine months ended September 30, 2001 assume that the
disposition had occurred on January 1, 2000 and January 1, 2001, respectively.
The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31,
2000 gives effect to the disposition as if it had occurred on December 31, 2000.
The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30,
2001 gives effect to the disposition as if it had occurred on September 30,
2001.

The pro forma financial information reflects certain assumptions described above
and in the Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements below.
The pro forma financial information does not purport to present what the
Company's results of operations would actually have been if the disposition of
certain locomotive aftermarket assets had occurred on the assumed date, as
specified above, or to project the Company's financial condition or results of
operations for any future period.
