              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, 1994 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, 1994.  The results of operations for the 
     three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 are not necessarily 
     indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 1995.  

2.   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 3 percent of its remaining 
     1995 diesel fuel consumption at approximately $0.46 per gallon. 
     Credit risk related to these activities is minimal.

3.   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, 1995 Compared to September 30, 1994
       -------------------------------------------------------------------


Operating Revenues
- ------------------
  Operating revenues grew $23 million (1%), primarily reflecting a slight 
gain in carloadings, partially offset by a 1% drop in average revenue per car.
The commodity groups that showed year-over-year carloading improvements 
included energy (12%), automotive (7%), grain (4%), and chemicals 
(1%), while declines occurred in intermodal (9%), food/consumer/government 
(7%), forest (6%) and metals/minerals (3%).

Operating Expenses
- ------------------
  Operating expenses totaled $1.4 billion, $15 million (1%) higher than a
year ago.  The $6 million increase in fuel and utilities cost reflects the 
growth in gross ton miles and a rise in average price, partly offset by a lower
consumption rate.  Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4 million
driven by continued investment in capacity.  Equipment and other rents
rose $2 million due to increased volume.  Other costs increased $14 million
(7%) primarily  the result of a 1994 insurance settlement for damages related 
to the 1993 floods.  Salaries, wages and employee benefits decreased  
$11 million, as benefit inflation was more than offset by flat volumes,
reduced accruals for lump sum agreement contract payments and a special 
railroad retirement tax refund.

Operating Income
- ----------------
  Operating income increased $8 million (2%) to $368 million as a result of 
volume improvements.

Other Changes
- -------------
  Interest expense decreased $6 million as a result of lower interest on 
equipment trust obligations.  Other income increased $21 million, primarily due
to payments from Southern Pacific Rail Corporation for trackage rights,
gains on the sale of certain real estate, and interest received on the
settlement of railroad retirement and supplemental annuity tax claims.
