subsidiary, Pittsburg & Shawmut Railroad, Inc. ("Pittsburg & Shawmut"),
purchased certain assets, primarily road and track structure, of Pittsburg &
Shawmut Railroad Company, Mountain Laurel Railroad Company, and Red Bank
Railroad Company for approximately $15.2 million, including related costs and
the assumption of a grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  The purchase
price was allocated to purchased inventory ($50,000), property ($14,846,000),
and other assets ($264,000).  In addition, the purchase and sale agreement
provides for additional contingency payments of up to $2.5 million.  A portion
of these payments are required (up to a maximum of $500,000) if certain coal
shipments during any calendar year from 1997-1999, as defined, exceed 290,000
tons.  The remaining contingency payments (up to a maximum of $2.0 million) are
calculated as 25% of the gross revenues attributable to certain coal shipments
that exceed 564,793 tons during any calendar year from 2000-2009, as defined.
Upon resolution of the amount of the contingency payments, there will be an
additional element of cost related to the transaction, which will be recorded as
excess cost over the fair market value of tangible net assets acquired and
amortized over the same period as the related track structure, which is 20
years. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The

                                      (6)
<PAGE>
 
allocation of the purchase price is based on preliminary estimates and may be
revised at a later date.  On June 28, 1996, a portion of the railcars acquired
in the purchase were sold for $2.4 million, the purchase price allocation was
adjusted, and no gain or loss was recognized.

  Pro Forma for Acquisitions - Results for the operations of Illinois & Midland
Railroad, Inc. and Pittsburg & Shawmut Railroad, Inc. are included within the
consolidated financial statements commencing February 9, 1996, and April 29,
1996, respectively.  Unaudited pro forma results assuming both acquisitions had
been made as of January 1, 1995, are as follows (in thousands, except per share
amounts):

3.  CREDIT FACILITIES:

  On June 2, 1995, the Company refinanced approximately $14.3 million of
previously existing notes and purchased approximately $6 million of rolling
stock previously under an operating lease by entering into a credit facilities
agreement. In conjunction with this refinancing transaction, an extraordinary
charge for prepayment penalties and other financing costs on the early
extinguishment of debt of approximately $851,000 ($494,000 net of income taxes)
was incurred.  These amounts have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated
income statement as an extraordinary item, net of income taxes.

  On February 8, 1996, the Company amended and restated the credit facilities
agreement.  The amended and restated credit facilities provide for a $40 million
term loan and a $34 million revolving credit facility.  The term loan requires
varying quarterly principal payments beginning September 30, 1996, with the
remaining balance payable in February, 2001.  The revolving credit facility
provides for a mandatory commitment reduction of $2.0 million on December 31,
1997, with the remaining balance payable in February, 2001.  The Company may
voluntarily reduce the commitment on the revolving credit facility at any time
without penalty, provided that no reinstatement of the commitment amounts may
occur.  In conjunction with the amendment and restatement, the Company paid debt
financing fees of $1.7 million, primarily to a financial institution.  These
costs have been capitalized and are included in the accompanying balance sheets
as of September 30, 1996 as an other asset and are being amortized over the
period covered by the related credit facilities agreement using the straight-
line method, which is not materially different from the amortization computed
using the effective-interest method.

                                      (7)
<PAGE>
 
  Both the term loan and the revolving credit facility accrue interest at prime
or the Eurodollar rate, at the option of the Company, plus the applicable
margin, which varies from 0% to 3% depending upon the Company's funded debt to
EBITDA ratio, as defined in the agreement. Interest is payable in arrears based
on certain elections of the Company, never to exceed three months outstanding.
The Company pays a 1/2% per annum commitment fee on all unused portions of the
revolving credit facilities. Both the term loan and the revolving credit
facility require mandatory prepayments when certain events occur. These events
include, among other things, the generation of excess cash flow, the disposition
of certain levels of assets not subject to prior liens and the sale of Company
stock, all as defined in the agreement. These credit facilities are secured by
substantially all the assets of the Company and the stock of certain
subsidiaries. These facilities require the maintenance of certain covenants,
including, but not limited to, funded debt to EBITDA, funded debt to net worth,
cash flow coverage, EBIT to interest and minimum net worth, all as defined in
the agreement. The Company is also limited in its ability to incur additional
indebtedness, create liens on its assets, make certain capital expenditures and
pay dividends greater than $32,000 in any one quarter.

4.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:

  Warrants - Detachable warrants were issued to a financial institution to
purchase 41,847 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0005
per share.  These warrants are exercisable at any time through March 1, 2006.
Management has valued the warrants at approximately $471,000, the amount of
which was recorded as a debt discount in the three-month period ending March 31,
1996.  The discount is being amortized over the period covered by the related
credit facilities agreement using the straight-line method, which is not
materially different from the amortization computed using the effective-interest
method.

  Initial Public Offering and Related Stock Transactions - On June 28, 1996 the
Company closed an underwritten initial public offering ("IPO") of 3,045,200
shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Common Stock Offering"), of which 2,897,200
shares were offered by the Company and 148,000 shares were offered by a selling
stockholder.  The gross proceeds to the Company of the Common Stock Offering of
$49,252,000, net of underwriters' commission of $3,448,000, were used to pay
down borrowings on the credit facilities.  Other costs of the IPO of $1,025,000
were paid by the Company.

  In connection with the Common Stock Offering, the Company, effective June 10,
1996, changed the par value of its Class A and Class B Common Stock from $10 per
share to $.01 per share and increased the shares authorized to 12 million and
1.5 million shares, respectively.  The rights and privileges of Class B Common
Stock changed to substantially the same as Class A Common Stock, except it
carries 10 votes per share, is convertible into Class A Common Stock and has
transfer restrictions.  The Class A Common Stock also has a 10% dividend
preference over Class B Common Stock, as and if dividends are declared by the
Board of Directors.  Also, the Company executed an 18.5 to 1 stock split and
reclassified the Company's outstanding Class A Common Stock into Class A and
Class B Common Stock, depending on the election of the shareholder.

                                      (8)
<PAGE>
 
  The Company established an incentive and nonqualified stock option plan for
key employees and a nonqualified stock option plan for nonemployee directors
that will allow employees and directors to purchase up to an aggregate of
500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. Options totalling 382,500 shares were
granted in connection with the IPO at the offering price of $17.00. The options
are exercisable in twenty-five percent increments annually in June, 1997 to
June, 2000. In addition, the Company established an employee stock purchase plan
and reserved 450,000 shares under the plan. The plan allows employees to
purchase stock at market value.

  All references in the consolidated financial statements of the Company to the
number of shares authorized and outstanding of Class A and Class B Common Stock
have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reclassification of the capital
stock and the stock split.

5.  SUPPLEMENTAL EARNINGS PER SHARE:

  Had the IPO occurred on January 1, 1996, earnings per share and weighted
average shares outstanding for the nine-month period ending September 30, 1996
would have been as follows:

Net income per share...................................$0.99

Weighted average shares and equivalent shares
outstanding (in thousands).............................5,526

  The supplemental earnings per share information is not necessarily indicative
of the results of future operations.

6.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

  Rail Link, Inc.--On November 8, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of
  ---------------                                                               
all of the common stock of Rail Link, Inc. ("Rail Link").  Rail Link provides
railroad switching and related services to North American industries with
extensive railroad facilities within their complexes.  The purchase price was $9
million, with additional amounts payable based on performance.  GWI financed the
purchase by drawing on its revolving credit facility.

  Headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, Rail Link manages 20 switching
operations, three short line railroads, a railcar cleaning operation, two track
maintenance operations, and a locomotive leasing operation in 11 states.

ITEM 2.             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and with the consolidated financial statements,
related notes and other financial information included in the Company's
registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (Registration number 333-03972).

General

  The Company is a holding company whose subsidiaries own and operate short line
and regional freight railroads and provide related rail services.  The Company
generates revenues primarily from the movement of freight over track owned or
operated by its railroads.  The Company also generates non-freight revenues
primarily by providing related rail services such as railcar leasing, railcar
repair, switching and storage to shippers along its lines and to the Class I
railroads that connect with its lines.

  The Company's operating expenses include wages and benefits, equipment rents
(including car hire), purchased services, depreciation and amortization, diesel
fuel, casualties and insurance, materials and other expenses.  Car hire is a
charge paid by a railroad to the owners of railcars used by that railroad in
moving freight.  Other expenses generally include property and other non-income
taxes, professional services, communication and data processing costs and
general overhead expense.

  When comparing the Company's results of operations from one reporting period
to another, the following factors should be taken into consideration.  The
Company has historically experienced fluctuations in revenues and expenses due
to unpredictable events such as one-time freight moves, customer plant
expansions and shut-downs, railcar sales, accidents and derailments.  In periods
when these events occur, results of operations are not easily comparable to
other periods.  Also, much of the Company's growth to date has resulted from
acquisitions.  The Company completed the acquisitions of the Illinois & Midland
and Pittsburg & Shawmut Railroads during the first four months of 1996 (See
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).  Because of variations in the
structure, timing and size of these acquisitions and differences in economics
among the Company's railroads resulting from differences in the rates and other
material terms established through negotiation, the Company's results of
operations in any reporting period may not be directly comparable to its results
of operations in other reporting periods.

Results of Operations

Operating Revenues

  Operating revenues were $19.0 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1996
compared to $13.6 million for the same quarter of 1995, an increase of $5.4
million or 39.9%.  The increase was largely attributable to a $4.9 million
increase in freight revenues.

</TABLE>

  Freight revenues were $15.7 million in the third quarter of 1996 compared to
$10.8 million in the third quarter of 1995, an increase of 45.4%.  The increase
in freight revenues was largely attributable to the operations on new
acquisitions, which generated freight revenues of $4.5 million during the
quarter, $3.9 million of which were revenues from the shipment of coal.
Portland & Western, which started operations in August, 1995 in the Oregon
region, generated $640,000 of freight revenues in the third quarter of 1996
compared to $110,000 in the same period of 1995, primarily from shipments of
grain and lumber.

  Total carloads were 51,529 in the third quarter of 1996 compared to 30,142 in
the comparable 1995 period, an increase of 21,387 or 71.0%.  The increase was
largely attributable to 17,633 carloads transported by new acquisitions, and
3,010 by Portland & Western compared to 718 in the same period of 1995.

  Non-freight revenues were $3.4 million in the third quarter of 1996
compared to $2.8 million in the comparable quarter of 1995, an increase of
$533,000 or 18.8%.  The increase is largely attributable to an increase of
$306,000 in car hire and rental income, from $891,000 in the third quarter of
1995 to $1.2 million in the third quarter of 1996.  Much of the increase is
additional car hire revenue from new acquisitions.

Operating Expenses

  Operating expenses were $15.4 million in the third quarter of 1996 compared to
$11.6 million in the same period of 1995, an increase of $3.8 million or 32.7%.
Expenses associated with new acquisitions represented $3.1 million of the
increase, and Portland & Western expenses represented an increase of $446,000
over the same period of 1995.

  The Company's operating ratio improved to 81.0% in the 1996 quarter from 85.4%
for the 1995 quarter.

  Labor and benefits expense was $6.3 million in the third quarter of 1996
compared to $4.7 million in the same period of 1995, an increase of $1.6 million
or 32.6%, primarily due to the commencement of operations by new acquisitions.
Labor costs decreased as a percentage of revenues, however, to 33.1% in the
third quarter of 1996 from 34.9% in the same period of 1995.  The decrease
reflects the efficiency of the new acquisition's unit coal train operations.

  Equipment rents expense increased to $2.2 million in the third quarter of 1996
compared to $1.8 million in the third quarter of 1995, but it decreased to 11.5%
of operating revenues from 13.3% in the year ago period.  This is mainly because
the largest component of equipment rents, car hire expense, decreased from 7.3%
of operating revenue in the third quarter of 1995 to 5.3% for the third quarter
of 1996 due to the efficiency of the new acquisitions.

  Depreciation and amortization expense was $1.6 million in the third quarter of
1996 compared to $1.0 million for the same period of 1995, an increase of
$558,000 or 54.3%.  The increase primarily reflects depreciation and
amortization related to new acquisitions.

Interest Expense and Income Taxes

  Interest expense in the third quarter of 1996 was $796,000 compared to
$907,000 in the comparable period of 1995. The decrease reflects the lower
overall debt outstanding due to the equity offering in June, 1996, and
subsequent reduction of debt with the proceeds of $45.8 million, after
underwriter commission, on June 28, 1996. The effective rate of state and
federal income taxes was 42% in 1995 compared to 40.5% in 1996.

Net Income

  The Company's net income in the quarter ended September 30, 1996 was $1.8
million compared to $654,000 for the same period of 1995.  The difference of
$1,109,000 is largely attributable to new acquisitions in 1996.

Operating Revenues

  Operating revenues were $54.6 million in the nine months ended September 30,
1996 compared to $40.2 million for the same period of 1995, an increase of $14.4
million or 35.8%. The increase was largely attributable to a $12.7 million
increase in freight revenues.

  Freight revenues were $44.5 million in the first nine months of 1996 compared
to $31.9 million in the same period of 1995, an increase of $12.7 million or
39.7%.  The increase in freight revenues was largely attributable to the
operations on new acquisitions, which generated freight revenues of $12.6
million during the period, $11.5 million of which were from the shipment of
coal.  Portland & Western, which started operations in August, 1995 in the
Oregon region, generated $1.8 million of freight revenues in the nine months of
1996 compared to $110,000 in the same period of 1995, primarily from shipments
of grain and lumber.

  Total carloads were 141,721 in the first nine months of 1996 compared to
89,742 in the comparable 1995 period, an increase of 51,979 or 57.9%. The
increase was largely attributable to 47,770 carloads, primarily coal,
transported by new acquisitions. Portland & Western transported 8,396 carloads
in the 1996 period compared to 718 carloads in the 1995 period.

  Non-freight revenues were $10.1 million in the first nine months of 1996
compared to $8.4 million in the comparable period of 1995, an increase of $1.7
million or 20.9%.  The new acquisitions generated $1.2 million of facility
management, switching and lumber storage revenues, and an additional $421,000
was generated from car hire revenue.  There is also a gain of $593,000 in the
1996 period from the sale of railcars, with no similar transaction in the 1995
period.

Operating Expenses

  Operating expenses were $44.0 million in the first nine months of 1996
compared to $35.3 million in the same period of 1995, an increase of $8.7
million or 24.8%. Expenses associated with new acquisitions represented $7.5
million of the increase, and Portland & Western expenses represented an increase
of $1.7 million over the same period of 1995.

  The Company's operating ratio improved to 80.6% in the 1996 period from 87.7%
for the first nine months of 1995.

  The following table sets forth a comparison of the Company's operating
expenses for the first nine months of 1995 and 1996:

  Labor and benefits expense was $17.8 million in the first nine months of 1996
compared to $14.0 million in the same period of 1995, an increase of $3.8
million or 27.0%, primarily due to the commencement of operations on new
acquisitions.  Labor costs decreased as a percentage of revenues, however, to
32.6% in the first nine months of 1996 from 34.9% in the same period of 1995.
The decrease reflects the efficiency of the unit coal train operations on new
acquisitions.

  Equipment rents expense increased to $6.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 compared to $5.7 million for the same period of 1995, but it
decreased to 11.3% of operating revenues from 14.1% in the year ago period.
This is mainly because the largest component of equipment rents, car hire
expense, decreased from 10.1% of operating revenue for the first nine months of
1995 to 8.3% for the same period of 1996 due to the efficiency of the new
acquisitions.  The reduction of equipment rents expense as a percentage of
operating revenues also reflects the reduction in the amount of equipment under
operating leases.  In June, 1995 the Company purchased railcars and locomotives,
which it had previously used under operating leases, which reduced equipment
rent expense under the terminated lease.

  Depreciation and amortization expense was $4.5 million in the first nine
months of 1996 compared to $2.9 million for the same period of 1995, an increase
of $1.6 million or 53.0%. The increase primarily reflects depreciation and
amortization related to new acquisitions.

Interest Expense and Income Taxes

  Interest expense for the period ended September 30, 1996 was $3.8 million
compared to $2.5 million for the comparable period of 1995, an increase of $1.3
million or 53.0%.  The increase reflects the increased debt for the financing of
new acquisitions, offset in part by the repayment of $45.8 million of debt on
June 28, 1996, from proceeds of the equity offering.  The effective rate of
state and federal income taxes was 42% in 1995 compared to 40.5% in 1996.

Net Income

  The Company's net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was
$4,286,000 compared to $1,066,000 for the same period of 1995.  The difference
of $3,220,000 is largely attributable to the new acquisitions in 1996; the
application of equity offering proceeds of $45.8 million to debt on June 28,
1996; and in 1995, to the write-off of prepayment penalties and financing fees
totaling $494,000 after netting out $357,000 of related income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  During the nine months ended September 30, 1996 the Company generated cash
from operations of $9.3 million. Of this amount, $695,000 was generated by an
excess of trade accounts payable over trade accounts receivable as recorded by
new acquisitions. The Company received $4.4 million in proceeds from the sale of
equipment.

  During the first nine months of 1995 the Company generated cash from
operations of $938,000 and had net new borrowings of $6.7 million. A total of
$13.2 million was invested in capital assets.

  The Company has budgeted $7.3 million in capital expenditures in 1996
(excluding the acquisitions of Illinois & Midland and Pittsburg & Shawmut), $3.7
million of which was completed as of September 30, 1996.

                                     (15)
<PAGE>
 
  On June 28, 1996 the Company closed an underwritten initial public offering of
3,045,200 shares of class A common stock, of which 2,897,200 shares were offered
by the Company and 148,000 shares were offered by a selling stockholder.  The
selling price was $17 per share.  The proceeds of the offering of $45.8 million,
after netting 7% underwriting commission, were used to pay down the debt.  Other
costs of the IPO of $1.0 million were paid by the Company.

  At September 30, 1996 the Company had long-term debt (including current
portion) totaling $28.9 million, which comprised 32.5% of its total
capitalization. This compares to long-term debt, including current portion, of
$39.9 million at December 31, 1995, comprising 79.1% of total capitalization.

  The Company has historically relied primarily on cash generated from
operations to fund working capital and capital expenditures relating to ongoing
operations, while relying on borrowed funds to finance acquisitions and
equipment needs (primarily rolling stock) related to acquisitions.  The Company
believes that its cash flow from operations together with amounts available
under its credit facilities will enable the Company to meet its liquidity and
capital expenditure requirements relating to ongoing operations for at least the
duration of its credit facilities.

           GENESEE & WYOMING INC. ACQUIRES VARLEN'S RAIL LINK, INC.
            COMPANY SPECIALIZES IN RAILROAD SWITCHING FOR INDUSTRY

     GREENWICH, CT, Nov. 11 -- Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (Nasdaq: GNWR) ("GWI")
reported that on Friday it completed its acquisition of all of the common stock
of Rail Link, Inc. ("Rail Link").  Rail Link is a leading provider of railroad
switching and related services to North American industries with extensive
railroad facilities within their complexes.  The purchase represents a
significant expansion into this segment of the industry by GWI, which already
operates a switching facility in Dayton, Texas.

     The purchase price was $9 million, with additional amounts payable based on
performance.  GWI financed the purchase by drawing on its revolving credit
facility with a group of lenders headed by BancBoston.

     James W. Benz, who started Rail Link in 1988, will continue as President of
the company.

     Rail Link manages 20 switching operations, three short line railroads, a
railcar cleaning operation, two track maintenance operations, and a locomotive
leasing operation in 11 states.  The company's operating revenues for calendar
1996 are estimated at over $10 million, and it employs about 230 people.

     Headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, Rail Link was a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Brenco, Inc., which was acquired by Chicago-based Varlen
Corporation (Nasdaq: VRLN) in August, 1996.  Varlen is a manufacturer of
precision engineered products for the railroad, heavy duty truck, automotive and
petroleum industries.

     Mort Fuller, Chairman and CEO of GWI, commented on the transaction as
follows: "We feel that the railroad switching service industry still has room to
grow in North America, a fact recognized by Jim Benz eight years ago.  Rail Link
has carved out a place in this segment of the industry by offering high quality
service, which mirrors our approach in operating our current short line and
regional companies.  We are pleased to have Rail Link as a platform from which
to pursue new opportunities, and we feel that this is a natural fit with our
current operations."
