        MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

           NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
        ----------------------------------------------------------
                                (Unaudited)

1.   RESPONSIBILITIES FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -  The condensed consolidated
     financial statements of the Registrant, a wholly-owned indirect 
     subsidiary of Union Pacific Corporation (the "Corporation"), are 
     unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and 
     recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary
     for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results
     for the interim periods.  The Statement of Condensed Consolidated
     Financial Position at December 31, 1993 is derived from audited
     financial statements.  The condensed consolidated financial statements
     should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
     and notes thereto contained in the Registrant's Annual Report on 
     Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.  The results of
     operations for the three months ended March 31, 1994 are not necessarily
     indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 1994.  

2.   ACCOUNTING CHANGES - In January 1993, the Registrant adopted the Financial
     Accounting Standards Board's pronouncements covering the recognition of
     postretirement benefits other than pensions and accounting for income 
     taxes, as well as a pro-rata method of recognizing transportation 
     revenues and expenses.  The cumulative effect of adopting these 
     accounting changes was a one-time, after-tax charge to earnings of 
     $125 million.  Prior years' financial statements were not restated. 

3.   PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT - The Registrant utilizes futures contracts, option
     contracts and swap agreements as hedges to manage variability of diesel
     fuel costs.  Gains and losses on these contracts are recognized upon 
     delivery of the commodity.  The Registrant has purchased fixed price 
     contracts to hedge approximately 30 percent of its remaining 1994 diesel
     fuel consumption at $0.44 per gallon.  Credit risk related to these
     activities is minimal.

4.   CONTINGENCIES - There are various lawsuits pending against the 
     Registrant and certain of its subsidiaries.  The Registrant is also
     subject to Federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations
     and is currently participating in the investigation and remediation of 
     numerous sites.  Where the remediation costs can be reasonably 
     determined, and where such remediation is probable, the Registrant has
     recorded a liability.  The Registrant does not expect that the lawsuits
     or environmental costs, will have a material adverse effect on its 
     consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

        MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMP

       MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
       Three Months Ended March 31, 1994 Compared to March 31, 1993
       ------------------------------------------------------------

Operating Revenues
- ------------------
     Operating revenues grew $41 million (8%) primarily reflecting a 10% gain in
carloadings, partially offset by a 2% decline in average revenue per car. 
Commodity groups showing year-over-year carloadings improvement included energy
(25%), automotive (17%), intermodal (15%) and chemicals (8%), while declines
occurred in grain (4%) and food/consumer/government (3%).

Operating Expenses
- ------------------
     Operating expenses totaled $474 million, $31 million (7%) higher than a
year ago.  Growing volumes accounted for an increase of $16 million in
equipment and other rents.  Employee injury expense rose $8 million, as 
continuing declines in the number of injuries were more than offset by higher 
settlement costs.  Fuel costs increased $4 million, as a 10% increase in gross 
ton-miles was partially offset by a 5% decrease in fuel price.  Salaries, wages
and employee benefits increased $3 million, as higher volumes and benefits 
inflation were largely offset by continued improvements in labor productivity. 
Material and supply costs also rose $2 million and depreciation expense 
increased $2 million because of continued investment in capacity.

Operating Income
- ----------------
     Operating income increased $10 million (11%), as a result of the volume
improvements.

Other Changes
- --------------
     Interest expense decreased $1 million as a result of lower interest on
equipment trust obligations.  Other income increased $4 million, primarily the
result of increased real estate activity.
