                                    PART I

Item 1.  Business.

            and

Item 2.  Properties.

         Allegheny and Western Railway Company (the "Company") is a railroad
incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on January 22, 1898.  It owns
a line of railroad 62 miles long which lies between Punxsutawney and Butler
Junction, Pennsylvania.  Pursuant to leases dated October 1, 1898, and January
15, 1900, between the Company and Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh Railway
Company ("BR&P") the Company leased its railroad to BR&P for the duration of
the Company's corporate existence, at an annual rental equal to 4% on its
bonded debt and 6% on its common stock ($100 par value).  The principal and
interest on the Company's bonds are guaranteed by BR&P.

         Under an agreement dated December 15, 1931, as amended, CSX
Transportation, Inc. ("CSXT"), as successor by merger, operated the properties
of BR&P, and incident thereto also operated the properties of the Company in
the name and for the account of CSXT without separation or segregation of the
results of such operations.  Under such agreement CSXT agreed to pay all
leased line rentals but did not assume or guarantee payment of the principal
on the bonds.  In addition to the rental paid by CSXT for the payment of the
Company's dividends and bond interest, CSXT paid all the expenses of the
Company, including all taxes assessed against it.  

         On July 18, 1988, CSXT, BR&P and Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad, Inc.
("B&P") entered into certain agreements collectively referred to as the
"Purchase and Sale Agreement" and closed in escrow.  The B&P took possession
and control of operations of the line of railroad of BR&P on July 19, 1988.
The purchase and sale agreement provided that BR&P and CSXT shall assign,
transfer, and convey to B&P all their obligations and duties arising under the
lease agreements.  On October 7, 1991, CSXT, BR&P and B&P executed an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement which concluded the escrow and B&P assumed
all of the terms and conditions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement with the
exception that CSXT would retain its right, title and interest in the 16,159
shares of common stock of the Company, being all the stock of the Company
owned by CSXT at that time.  CSXT currently owns 16,189 shares of common stock
of the Company, or 50.63%.

         Since the interest and dividends on the Company's bonds and common
stock are paid from moneys obtained from the lessee, reference is made to
CSXT's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993, a copy of which
is available from Patricia J. Aftoora, Vice President and Corporate Secretary
of CSXT, S/C J-160, 500 Water Street, Jacksonville, FL  32202. 

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.

            None.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

            None.

Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Stock and Related Security Holder
         Matters.

         There is no market in which the common stock of the Company is
traded.

         As of March 18, 1994, there were approximately 194 stockholders of
$100 par value capital stock.

         Dividends on the Company's capital stock are guaranteed under the
terms of the lease agreement referred to in Items 1 and 2, Business and
Properties.
