                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholder of
W.T. Byler Co., Inc.:

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of W.T. Byler Co., Inc. (a
Texas corporation) as of December 31, 1998 and the related statements of income,
changes in stockholder's equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of W.T. Byler Co., Inc. as of
December 31, 1998 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                       NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

     W.T. Byler Co., Inc., (the "Company"), operates as a general contractor
performing work in the construction and repair of railroad tracks, grading,
bridge construction, paving, structural concrete work and light rail
construction projects throughout the continental United States. For the year
ended December 31, 1998, two customers accounted for 36.5% of the Company's
revenue.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

     Management used estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These
estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported revenues
and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in
preparing the financial statements.

REVENUE AND COST RECOGNITION

     The Company recognizes revenues from fixed-fee contracts using the
percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of cost incurred to
date to management's estimate of total cost for each contract. This method is
used because management considers total cost to be the best available measure of
progress on the contracts. Because of uncertainties in estimating costs, it is
at least reasonably possible that the estimates used could change within the
near term.

     Contract costs include all direct labor and benefits, materials,
subcontract costs, other direct costs and allocations of indirect costs of
construction. Indirect costs of construction are allocated based on direct labor
dollars or equipment usage.

     As long-term contracts extend over one or more years, revisions in
estimates of costs and earnings during the course of the work are reflected in
the accounting period in which the facts which require the revisions become
known. At the time a significant loss on a contract becomes known, the entire
amount of the estimated ultimate loss is recognized in the financial statements.

     The asset "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
uncompleted contracts" represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts
billed. The liability "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on
uncompleted contracts" represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

OPERATING CYCLE

     In accordance with industry practice, the Company classifies as current all
assets and liabilities related to the performance of long-term contracts. The
contracting cycle for certain long-term contracts may extend beyond one year
and, accordingly, collection or payment of amounts related to these contracts
may extend beyond one year.

INVENTORY

     Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventory consists of
rail used for construction projects.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related asset.
Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the
asset's remaining useful life. The cost of routine maintenance and minor repairs
are charged to

earnings as incurred. As assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost
and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or
loss is reflected in income.

     The ranges of estimated useful lives used in computing depreciation for
financial statement purposes are as follows:

INCOME TAXES

     The Company has elected for tax purposes to be taxed under provisions of
Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The election allows the stockholder
to include the Company's net earnings in his own income for tax purposes.
Accordingly, the Company generally is not liable for federal income taxes. The
Company may be liable for federal income taxes related to accumulated earnings
and profits, built-in capital gains and recapture of investment tax credits.
Where allowed by state taxing authorities, the Company is also taxed as an "S"
Corporation and is not subject to tax. Any income taxes for states which do not
recognize "S" Corporation status would be included in the income tax provision.
There is no provision for income taxes required at December 31, 1998.

                NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

CASH, ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

     The carrying amount of these items are a reasonable estimate of their fair
value due to their short-term nature.

LONG-TERM DEBT

     The carrying amount of the line of credit facility approximates fair value
as the interest rates are comparable to market value. The carrying value of
other loans relating to equipment approximates fair value as the interest rates
are comparable to market rates.

8. PROFIT SHARING PLAN

     The Company has a 401(k) plan that covers all eligible employees. The plan
is a salary deferral plan covering all full-time employees who are at least 21
years of age with one year of service. Employees may contribute from 1% up to
15% of their pretax annual compensation, as defined in the plan. Company
contributions to the profit sharing plan are at the discretion of the Board of
Directors. During 1998, total contributions to the plan charged to operations
were $30,770.

9. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

     The Company has a deferred compensation arrangement with a key management
employee (the "Deferred Compensation Agreement") which was executed on May 3,
1994. The Deferred Compensation Agreement provides for up to $2.6 million of
additional compensation, which vested on a straight line basis over a 10 1/2
year period of employment. Premature vesting occurs upon the sale of greater
than fifty-one percent of the Company's assets or more than a forty-nine percent
change in ownership. As a result of the Company's acquisition (see below),
premature vesting occurred in 1999.

                         PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The following unaudited pro forma financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1998 give effect to the acquisitions by RailWorks of the 14
companies acquired by RailWorks in August 1998, which are referred to as the
Founding Companies, and the 13 companies (including Byler which was acquired on
October 22, 1999) acquired by RailWorks after its initial public offering, or
IPO, in August 1998 and prior to September 30, 1999, which are referred to as
Acquired Companies, as if each had occurred on January 1, 1998. The unaudited
pro forma financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 give
effect to the acquisitions of the 11 companies acquired by RailWorks during the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, which are referred to as the 1999 Acquired
Companies, as if each had occurred on January 1, 1999. The unaudited pro forma
balance sheet gives effect to the acquisition of the 1999 Acquired Companies as
if each had occurred on September 30, 1999. RailWorks has accounted for all of
these acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting.

     The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December
31, 1998 includes the results of operations of RailWorks for the year ended
December 31, 1998 combined with the results of operations of (1) the Founding
Companies (other than Comstock Holdings, Inc.) from January 1, 1998 through July
31, 1998, and (2) Armcore Railroad Contractors, Inc. from January 1, 1998
through November 4, 1998, seven of the 1999 Acquired Companies from January 1,
1998 through December 31, 1998, two of the 1999 Acquired Companies from December
1, 1997 through November 30, 1998 and two of the 1999 Acquired Companies from
April 1, 1998 through March 31, 1999 and give effect to the pro forma
adjustments related to these transactions all as if each had occurred on January
1, 1998. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 includes the results of operations of RailWorks for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 combined with the results of operations of
(1) FCM Rail, Ltd., F&V Metro Contracting Corp. and affiliates and Gantrex Group
from January 1, 1999 through January 31, 1999, (2) McCord Treated Wood, Inc. and
Birmingham Wood, Inc. from January 1, 1999 through April 12, 1999, (3) M-Track
Enterprises, Inc. from January 1, 1999 through April 30, 1999, (4) PNR
Contractors, Inc. from January 1, 1999 through May 18, 1999, (5) Neosho
Incorporated and affiliates from January 1, 1999 through May 31, 1999, (6) Earl
Campbell Construction Company, Inc. and Wood Waste Energy, Inc. from January 1,
1999 through June 30, 1999 and (7) W. T. Byler Co., Inc. from January 1, 1999
through September 30, 1999 and give effect to the pro forma adjustments related
to these transactions all as if each had occurred on January 1, 1999.

     RailWorks has analyzed the savings that it expects to realize from
reductions in salaries, bonuses and certain benefits to the owners of the
Founding Companies and the Acquired Companies. To the extent the owners of the
Founding Companies and the Acquired Companies have contractually agreed to
changes in salaries, bonuses, benefits and lease payments, these changes have
been reflected in the unaudited pro forma statement of operations.

     Certain pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates, available
information and certain assumptions that management deems appropriate and may be
revised as additional information becomes available. The pro forma financial
data do not purport to represent what RailWorks combined financial position or
results of operations would actually have been if such transactions had in fact
occurred on those dates and are not necessarily representative of RailWorks'
combined financial position or results of operations for any future period.
Because the acquired entities were not under common control or management prior
to their acquisition by RailWorks, historical combined results may not be
comparable to, or indicative of, future performance.

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

     1. Excludes results of operations of the two companies acquired by
RailWorks in 1998, which are referred to as the 1998 Acquired Companies, from
November 4, 1998 to December 31, 1998 because they are included in the
Consolidated Financial Statements of RailWorks for the year ended December 31,
1998.

     2. To reflect the reduction of insurance and employee benefit costs
realized by RailWorks compared to the combined historical cost incurred by the
Founding Companies and the Acquired Companies.

     3. To reduce compensation expense to the level the owners of the Founding
Companies and the Acquired Companies have contractually agreed to receive
subsequent to the acquisition of their companies. The employment agreements are
generally for three years. This amount is net of incremental corporate expenses
of $1.6 million.

     4. To reflect the savings realized on a lease renewal by Comstock and a
reduction of compensation expense related to personnel of Comstock's former
parent.

     5. To eliminate acquisition-related costs incurred by the Founding
Companies and certain professional and other costs incurred by the Acquired
Companies in anticipation of their acquisition by RailWorks.

     6. To record the issuance of 1,205,872 shares of restricted common stock
(with no cash impact to RailWorks) to management, based on the IPO price of
$12.00 per share.

     7. To eliminate non-cash compensation expense recorded as a result of the
transfer of common stock from certain operating company managers to other
employees of such operating companies at the price per share in effect on the
date of transfer.

     8. To eliminate non-recurring expenses of RailWorks consisting of $2.9
million related to settlement of employee benefit obligations of one of the
operating companies and corporate relocation costs and $2.2 million in estimated
legal and settlement costs in connection with former operations of one of the
operating companies.

     9. To eliminate offering expenses incurred in connection with the IPO.

     10. To eliminate the loss related to the specific contract performance of
an unrelated venture which was guaranteed by one of the acquired companies.

     11. To record goodwill amortization expense using a 40-year estimated life,
other intangible assets amortization using a 10-year estimated life and loan
origination costs amortization using a 3-year estimated life.

     12. To adjust interest expense and interest income to reflect debt at the
rates that would have been in effect for RailWorks in 1998.

     13. To record the incremental provision for federal and state income taxes
at an assumed 39.0% effective tax rate increased by the effect of goodwill
amortization which is not deductible for income tax purposes.

     The adjustments related to the 1999 Acquired Companies are based on
preliminary estimates of the allocation of the purchase price and are subject to
revision.

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

     1. Excludes results of operations of the 1999 Acquired Companies from their
respective acquisition dates through September 30, 1999 because they are
included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of RailWorks for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999.

     2. Depreciation and amortization expense includes $4.9 million of
depreciation and amortization expense included in the cost of revenue.

     3. To reflect the reduction of insurance and employee benefit costs
realized by RailWorks compared to the combined historical cost incurred by the
Founding Companies and the Acquired Companies.

     4. To reduce compensation expense to the level the owners of the Founding
Companies and the Acquired Companies have contractually agreed to receive
subsequent to the acquisition of their companies. The employment agreements are
generally for three years. This amount is net of incremental corporate expenses
of $100,000.

     5. To eliminate acquisition-related costs and certain professional and
other costs incurred by the 1999 Acquired Companies in anticipation of their
acquisition by RailWorks.

     6. To record goodwill amortization expense using a 40-year estimated life.

     7. To record the incremental provision for federal and state income taxes
at an assumed 39.0% effective tax rate increased by the effect of goodwill
amortization which is not deductible for income tax purposes.

     The adjustments related to the 1999 Acquired Companies are based on
preliminary estimates of the allocation of the purchase price and are subject to
revision.
