           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 Condensed Statement of 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 and nine months
    ended September 30, 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 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 COMPANIES

          MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
      Nine Months Ended September 30, 1994 Compared to September 30, 1993
      -------------------------------------------------------------------

Operating Revenues
- ------------------
  Operating revenues grew $141 million (9%) to $1.74 billion, primarily 
reflecting an 11% gain in carloadings. Commodity groups showing 
year-over-year carloadings improvement included energy (23%), automotive (19%),
intermodal (25%),  chemicals (6%), and food/consumer/government (4%).  
Metals, minerals and forest traffic declined 1%, while grain volumes declined 
4%.  Higher volumes were partially offset by a 2% decline in average revenue per
per car.  

Operating Expenses
- ------------------
  Operating expenses totaled $1.38 billion, $80 million (6%) higher than a 
year ago.  Growing volumes accounted for an increase of $42 million in
equipment rents.  Personal injury expense rose $22 million, as continuing
declines in the number of injuries were more than offset by higher settlement
costs.  Fuel costs increased $3 million, the result of an 11% increase in
gross ton-miles, which was partially offset by a 6% decrease in fuel price.  
Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased $1 million, as higher
volumes and benefits inflation were largely offset by continued improvements
in labor productivity.  Depreciation expense increased $6 million because
of continued investment in equipment and capacity.

Operating Income
- ----------------
  Operating income increased $62 million (21%) to $360 million, as a result of 
the volume improvements.

Other Changes
- -------------
  Interest expense decreased $4 million as a result of lower interest on 
equipment trust obligations.
