REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation Savings Plan for Hourly
Employees and Participants:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation Savings Plan for Hourly
Employees as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related statements of changes
in net 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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
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 at end of year) as of December 31,2002 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. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of 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.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001


1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN:

The following brief description of the Plan is provided for general information
purposes only. Participants should refer to the plan document and/or summary
plan description for more complete information.

General

The Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation Savings Plan for Hourly
Employees (the Plan), effective May 1, 1999, is a contributory plan intended to
comply with the provisions of Sections 401(a), 401(k), and 401(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code (IRC).

Contributions

Participants may contribute, through payroll deductions, employee elective
contributions from 1% to 20% of their compensation, limited to $11,000 in 2002.
In addition, participants may contribute employee after-tax contributions from
1% to 20% of their compensation in 2002. Employee contributions were limited to
contributing up to 16% of their compensation in 2001.

Participant total annual contributions may not exceed the contribution limits
under Section 415(c) of the IRC. In addition, the combination of an employee's
elective contribution and after-tax contribution could not exceed 20% and 16% of
his/her compensation in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Withdrawals

Participants may make the following types of withdrawals:

     In-Service Withdrawals--A participant may withdraw any portion of his/her
     employee after-tax account and rollover accounts once in any six-month
     period. Once a participant has reached age 59-1/2, he/she can withdraw any
     portion of his/her employee elective account, provided that the participant
     simultaneously withdraws (or has previously withdrawn) the entire amount of
     his/her employee after-tax account and rollover accounts, if applicable.

     Hardship Withdrawals--In the case of hardship, as defined in the plan
     document, the participant can receive 100% of his/her employee elective
     account. Hardship withdrawals are limited to once every plan year.

Loans

Participants may receive loans from the Plan. At no time shall the loans of the
participant exceed the lesser of 50% of the value of the participant's vested
balance of his/her account, reduced by any outstanding loan balance or $50,000.

The loans bear interest based on prevailing commercial rates as determined
quarterly by the plan administrator. The interest rates on participant loans
range from 7.0% to 10.5%.

Vesting

Employee contributions are at all times 100% vested and nonforfeitable.


                                       4


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Accounting

The accounts of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting.
Expenses incurred by the plan administrator, investment manager and trustee for
their services and costs in administering the Plan are paid directly by the
Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation (the Company).

Investments

Investments are valued at their market values based on published quotations.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

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 may differ from these
estimates.

3. INVESTMENTS:

The trustee of the Plan holds the Plan's investments and executed transactions
therein. The fair market values of individual assets that represent 5% or more
of the Plan's net assets as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:

Investment Options

The trustee of the investments is Fidelity Management Trust Company (Fidelity)
per the Trust Agreement dated May 1, 1999. Fidelity maintains the investments
and provides record-keeping functions for the Plan. Each participant's account,
at the discretion of the participant, may be invested in a variety of funds.

4. PLAN TERMINATION:

In the event the Plan is terminated, the Company will direct either (a) that the
investment manager and trustee continue to hold the participants' accounts in
accordance with the Plan, or (b) that the investment manager and trustee
immediately distribute to each participant all amounts in the participant's
account in a single lump-sum payment.



                                       5


5.  TAX STATUS

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
dated November 19, 2002, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 410(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, therefore, the related trust is
exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in
conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator
has indicated that it will take the necessary steps, if any, to maintain the
Plan's qualified status.

6.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Effective January 1, 2003, Service Center hourly employees, who were
participants in the Plan, were transferred into the Westinghouse Air Brake
Technologies Corporation Savings Plan (Savings Plan). Assets of $496,490,
representing these participants' accounts, were transferred into the Savings
Plan from the Plan.
