PART I
Item 1. Business.
and
Item 2. Properties.
Dayton and Michigan Railroad Company (the "Company") is a railroad
incorporated in the State of Ohio on March 5, 1851. It owns a line of
railroad 141 miles long which lies between Dayton and Toledo, Ohio. Under the
terms of a perpetual lease dated May 1, 1863, CSX Transportation, Inc.
("CSXT"), as successor by merger, operates the property of the Company, paying
rental charges measured principally by the annual dividend requirements of the
Company's outstanding shares of capital stock; consisting of two classes,
preferred and common. The Company's preferred stock ($50 par value) pays
guaranteed dividends of 8%, and its common stock ($50 par value) pays
guaranteed dividends of 3-1/2%. The lease excludes from the measure of the
rental charges the dividend requirements on the Company's shares owned by
CSXT. As of December 31, 1994, CSXT owned 66.7% of the Company's preferred
stock and 80.39% of its common stock.
In addition to the rental charges paid by CSXT to the Company for the
payment of the Company's dividends, CSXT directly assumes and pays all the
operating expenses of and reimburses all taxes assessed against the Company.
Since the dividends on the Company's preferred and common stock are
paid from monies obtained from CSXT pursuant to a lease to CSXT, reference is
made to CSXT's Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 1994, a copy of which
is available from Patricia J. Aftoora, Vice President and Corporate Secretary
of CSXT, S/C J-160, 500 Water Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
None.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
None.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Stock and Related Stockholder Matters.
The Company's common stock is listed on the Cincinnati Stock
Exchange. From a known market maker in the Company's common stock, as of
March 10, 1995, a price of $20.25 per share was bid but there were no sales.
As of March 10, 1995, there were approximately 73 common shareholders of
record.
The principal source of quotations, The National Quotation Bureau,
Inc. indicates no bid and ask quotations for the Company's common and
preferred stocks during the two year period of 1994 and 1993.
Dividends on the Company's preferred and common stocks are guaranteed
at 8% on the preferred stock and 3-1/2% on the common stock pursuant to a
perpetual lease agreement dated May 1, 1863, as amended, between the Company
and CSXT, more specifically referred to in Items 1 and 2, Business and
Properties.

Net earnings for 1994 totaled $93,856, a decrease of $15,622 from
1993 and an increase of $8,755 from 1992. The 1994 decrease in net earnings
compared to 1993 resulted from higher interest income which was more than
offset by decreases in rental income and gains on property sales. The 1993
increase in net earnings compared to 1992 resulted from higher rental income
and gains on property sales partially offset by lower interest income.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Shareholders and Board of Directors
Dayton and Michigan Railroad Company
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of
Dayton and Michigan Railroad Company as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
related statements of earnings, cash flows, and retained earnings (deficit)
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits 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 audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above (appearing
on pages 11-15) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Dayton and Michigan Railroad Company at December 31, 1994 and
1993, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
