                       SCHEDULE 13D
                       AMENDMENT NO. 1

Item 1.   Security and Issuer

          The Schedule 13D filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on November 13, 1995, by
Pichin Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Pichin"), Chelonian
Corp., a New York corporation ("Chelonian"), Unicorn
Associates Corporation, a New York corporation ("Unicorn"),
ACF Industries Incorporated, a New Jersey corporation
("ACF"), ACF Industries Holding Corp., a Delaware
corporation ("Holding"), Highcrest Investors Corp., a
Delaware corporation ("Highcrest"), Buffalo Investors Corp.,
a New York corporation ("Buffalo"), Starfire Holding
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Starfire") and Carl C.
Icahn, a citizen of the United States of America
(collectively, the "Registrants") is amended to furnish the
additional information set forth herein.  All capitalized
terms contained herein, but not otherwise defined shall have
the meanings ascribed to such terms in the original Schedule
13D previously filed by the Registrants.

Item 2.  Identity and Background

Item 2 is amended to add the following:

          The principal business address and the address of
the principal office of Buffalo is 100 South Bedford Road,
Mount Kisco, New York 10549.

          Buffalo is primarily engaged in holding 99.5% of
the outstanding Shares of Highcrest and is wholly-owned by
Starfire.  Buffalo may be deemed to be a "group" with the
other Registrants within the meaning of Rule 13d-5
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Act").

          Neither Buffalo nor any executive officer or
director of Buffalo has, during the past five years, (a)
been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors), or (b) been a party to
a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding
was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order
enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating
activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or
a finding of any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

          A total of 500,000 Shares of the Shares which were
originally deposited in the Settlement Trust were sold on
May 2, 1996, as a result of the determination by the
designee of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation and the
Registrants that it was a propitious time for the Settlement
Trust to dispose of Shares and apply the proceeds of the
sale to the TWA Pension Plans.  Registrants are considering
selling from time to time, depending on the prices which may
be realized therefor, additional Shares which had been
deposited in the Settlement Trust. 

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5(a) is hereby amended to add the following:

          As of the close of business on May 2, 1996,
Registrants may be deemed to beneficially own the remaining
aggregate of 3,666,667 Shares representing approximately
9.9% of the Issuer's outstanding Shares (based upon the
