Item 8.01 Other Events.

Beginning in 2006, Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation, doing business as Wabtec Corporation (the “Company”), transferred certain operations between the Freight Group and the Transit Group in order to reflect a shift in the markets and customers served by those operations. The transfer of operations was also made to be consistent with the information used by the chief decision maker in evaluating the operations of the company. In addition, beginning in 2006 the Company began allocating the cost of certain corporate functions to the operating groups to reflect the beneficial use of these functions by the groups. These changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, but did change historical segment results. A copy of the revised segment results, by quarter, for 2005 and 2006 (the “Revised Segment Results”) is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference.
