              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 six months ended June 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 pension 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.

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



Operating Revenues
- ------------------
     Operating revenues grew $88 million (8%), primarily reflecting an 11% 
gain in carloadings.  Commodity groups showing year-over-year carloadings 
improvement included energy (26%), automotive (19%), intermodal (25%), 
chemicals (6%) and food/consumer/government (2%).  Metals, minerals and 
forest traffic was unchanged, while grain volumes declined 9%.  Higher volumes
were partially offset by a 2% decline in average revenue per car.

Operating Expenses
- ------------------
     Operating expenses totaled $931 million, $61 million (7%) higher than a 
year ago.  Growing volumes accounted for an increase of $33 million in 
equipment and other rents.  Personal injury expense rose $16 million, as
continuing declines in the number of injuries were more than offset by higher 
settlement costs.  Fuel costs increased $2 million, the result of an 11%
increase in gross ton-miles, which was partially offset by a 8% decrease
in fuel price.  Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased $2 million, 
as higher volumes and benefits inflation were largely offset by continued 
improvements in labor productivity.  Material and supply costs also rose 
$4 million and depreciation expense increased $4 million because of continued 
investment in capacity.

Operating Income
- ----------------
     Operating income increased $27 million (13%), as a result of the volume 
improvements.

Other Changes
- -------------
     Interest expense decreased $3 million as a result of lower interest on 
equipment trust obligations.  Other income increased $5 million, primarily the
result of increased real estate activity and income on the settlement of
an insurance claim.  Income taxes increased $14 million as a result of 
increased earnings and a 1% increase in the federal income tax rate.
