             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 months ended March 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative
     of the results for the year ending December 31, 1995.  

2.   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
     4 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 condition or its results of operations.

         MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         Three Months Ended March 31, 1995 Compared to March 31, 1994
         ------------------------------------------------------------

Operating Revenues
- ------------------
  Operating revenues grew $17 million (3%), primarily reflecting a 6% gain in 
carloadings, partially offset by a 3% decline in average revenue per car.  
Commodity groups showing year-over-year carloadings improvement included 
energy (14%), automotive (9%), intermodal (7%), chemicals (6%) and
food/consumer/government (4%), while declines occurred in grain (5%) and 
metals/minerals/forest (2%).

Operating Expenses
- ------------------
  Operating expenses totaled $480 million, $7 million (1%) higher than a year
ago.  Growing volumes and inflation accounted for increased contracted 
maintenance and drayage ($4 million) and fuel and utilities costs ($1 million).
Employee injury expense rose $3 million, as continuing declines in the number
of injuries were more than offset by higher settlement costs.  Depreciation
expense increased $2 million because of continued investment in capacity.  
Other components contributing to higher operating costs included maintenance
and repairs ($2 million) and insurance ($1 million).  Equipment and other 
rents decreased $6 million, as higher volumes were more than offset by car
hire receipts.  Salaries, wages and employee benefits decreased $1
million, as higher volumes and benefits inflation were offset by continued 
improvements in labor productivity. 

Operating Income
- ----------------
  Operating income increased $10 million (11%) during the quarter to 
$105 million.  Volume improvements accounted for the rise in operating income.

Other Changes
- -------------
  Interest expense decreased $2 million as a result of lower interest on 
equipment trust obligations.  Other income decreased $5 million, primarily the
result of lower real estate sales activity.

Item 5.  OTHER INFORMATION
         -----------------

     As previously reported on the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K 
     for the year ended December 31, 1994, on March 16, 1995 Union Pacific 
     Corporation (the Corporation or UPC) executed a definitive merger
     agreement to acquire the remaining 71.6% of the outstanding common
     stock of Chicago and North Western Transportation Company (CNW) not 
     previously owned by UPC for $1.2 billion.  Under this agreement, UPC 
     initiated a cash tender offer, through its indirectly wholly-owned 
     subsidiary, UP Rail, Inc. (UP Rail), on March 23, 1995 at $35 per share
     which was completed on April 25, 1995.  A total of 31,529,846 shares was 
     tendered pursuant to the offer and accepted by UPC for payment, bringing 
     UPC's ownership of CNW to approximately 99.5%.

     The Corporation, UP Rail, CNW and CNW's directors were named as 
     defendants in five lawsuits, purportedly filed on behalf of all public 
     stockholders of CNW, which were commenced on March 10 and 13, 1995 in
     the Court of Chancery in New Castle County, Delaware, with respect to the
     Corporation's acquisition of CNW.  The suits alleged, among other things,
     that (i) the directors of CNW breached their fiduciary duties to the CNW 
     stockholders in considering and approving the acquisition of CNW by UPC 
     and (ii) as the controlling stockholder of CNW, the Corporation and UP
     Rail breached their fiduciary duties to other stockholders of CNW in 
     agreeing to enter into the acquisition.  As relief, the suits requested,
     among other things, an injunction against consummation of the transaction 
     and damages in an unspecified amount.

     On April 13, 1995, counsel for CNW, the Corporation and the plaintiffs 
     entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the Memorandum of 
     Understanding) proposing to settle all of the pending class action
     lawsuits relating to the acquisition.  Pursuant to the Memorandum of 
     Understanding, the Corporation and CNW agreed, among other things, (i) to 
     disseminate certain supplemental disclosures to CNW's stockholders, (ii) 
     to modify a Stock Option Agreement pursuant to which UP Rail would be
     permitted to acquire additional shares of CNW common stock from CNW if
     UP Rail acquired more than 87.5% (85% before such amendment) but less
     than 90% of the CNW shares in the Corporation's tender offer for CNW 
     shares, (iii) to extend the expiration date of the CNW tender offer
     until April 24, 1995 and (iv) to pay certain fees and expenses of 
     plaintiffs' counsel, subject to approval of the Delaware Court of 
     Chancery.  The parties to the Memorandum of Understanding have prepared
     and submitted to the Delaware Court of Chancery for its approval 
     a Stipulation of Settlement of the pending class action lawsuits.  If such 
     Stipulation of Settlement is not approved by the Court, the proposed 
     settlement will be null and void and will not prejudice the rights of any
     party with respect to such litigation.
