          Kansas City Southern Industries Reports Improved Third
        Quarter and Year to Date Income From Continuing Operations

Spin-off of Stilwell Financial Inc.
On July 12, 2000,  Kansas City Southern  Industries,  Inc. ("KCSI" or "Company")
completed its spin-off of Stilwell Financial Inc. ("Stilwell") through a special
dividend of Stilwell  common stock  distributed to KCSI common  stockholders  of
record on June 28, 2000  ("Spin-off").  The Spin-off occurred after the close of
business  of the New York  Stock  Exchange  on July  12,  2000,  and  each  KCSI
stockholder  received  two shares of the common  stock of Stilwell for every one
share of KCSI  common  stock  owned on the record  date.  The  Internal  Revenue
Service has ruled that the Spin-off  will not be taxable for Federal  income tax
purposes to KCSI or KCSI  stockholders.  Also on July 12, 2000, KCSI completed a
reverse  stock split whereby every two shares of KCSI common stock was converted
into one share of KCSI common stock.  KCSI common  stockholders  had  previously
approved this reverse stock split.  The results of operations  discussed  herein
provide information only related to the continuing operations of KCSI, exclusive
of the discontinued operations of Stilwell.

Earnings Analysis and Commentary
KCSI  reported  third  quarter 2000 income from  continuing  operations  of $5.2
million  (9 cents  per diluted  share)  compared to $4.6  million (8 cents  per
diluted share) in the third quarter of 1999. This $0.6 million (13%) improvement
resulted  primarily  from an increase in U.S.  operating  income of $4.1 million
(28%) and a decrease  in the  income tax  provision  of $1.2  million  partially
offset  by  a  $1.2  million  decrease  in  equity  earnings  related  to  Grupo
Transportacion  Ferroviaria Mexicana, S.A. de C.V. ("Grupo TFM") and an increase
in interest  expense of $3.6  million.  KCSI's  consolidated  third quarter 2000
revenue decline of $5.0 million was more than offset by a $9.1 million reduction
in operating expenses, resulting in improved operating income.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, income from continuing  operations
increased  $7.0 million (40%) to $24.4 million, or 42 cents  per diluted share,
from $17.4  million, or 30 cents per diluted  share, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. A $14.0 million  increase in equity  earnings from Grupo TFM
and a $6.1  million  decrease  in the income tax  provision  for the nine months
ended  September 30, 2000 were partially  offset by a decline in U.S.  operating
income of $3.6  million and an increase  in interest  expense of $10.9  million.
Consolidated  revenues  declined  2.7%  while  consolidated  operating  expenses
declined  2.2% for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000  compared with the
same 1999 nine-month period.

During the third quarter of 2000,  the Company  refinanced  $200 million of bank
debt due  January  11,  2001  with a $200  million  offering  of  8-year  senior
unsecured   notes.   In  connection   with  this   refinancing,   KCSI  recorded
extraordinary debt retirement costs of approximately $1.1 million (net of income
taxes).  Additionally,  during the third quarter of 2000,  Grupo TFM  refinanced
$300 million of bank debt with a U.S.  Commercial  Paper program.  KCSI recorded
its proportionate  share of extraordinary  debt retirement costs of $1.7 million
(net of income  taxes)  related to this  refinancing  by Grupo TFM.  Total third
quarter  2000  extraordinary charges of $2.8  million,  or 5 cents per diluted
share,  reduced  income from  continuing  operations  from $5.2  million to $2.4
million, or 4 cents per diluted share.

In anticipation of the Spin-off,  the Company  re-capitalized its debt structure
during January 2000 whereby KCSI retired approximately $398 million in long-term
indebtedness  prior to their scheduled  maturities.  Accordingly,  KCSI recorded
extraordinary debt retirement costs of approximately $5.9 million (net of income
taxes),   or  10 cents  per  diluted  share, in  first  quarter  2000.   Total
extraordinary  items for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000 totaled $8.7
million  (net of income  taxes) or  15 cents  per  diluted  share.  Income from
continuing  operations adjusted for these extraordinary items was $15.7 million,
or 27 cents per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

(1) KCSI stockholders  previously  approved a reverse split of KCSI Common stock
that became  effective upon completion of the Spin-off.  As discussed above, the
Spin-off  occurred  on July 12, 2000 and,  accordingly,  at the close of the New
York Stock  Exchange on July 12, 2000,  each two shares of KCSI Common stock was
converted to one share of KCSI Common  stock.  All periods  presented  have been
restated to reflect this reverse split.


Third Quarter
Following  the Spin-off of Stilwell  from the Company on July 12, 2000,  KCSI is
comprised of, among others,  The Kansas City Southern Railway Company  ("KCSR"),
Gateway Western Railway Company  ("Gateway  Western") and equity  investments in
Grupo TFM and Mexrail,  Inc. KCSI reported income from continuing  operations of
$5.2  million for the three  months ended  September  30, 2000  compared to $4.6
million in the same 1999 period.

KCSI's  consolidated  third quarter 2000 revenues  totaled $144.1 million versus
$149.1  million in third  quarter  1999.  This $5.0  million  decrease  resulted
primarily from lower combined  KCSR/Gateway  Western  revenues of  approximately
$4.4 million.  Growth in paper and forest  product and automotive  revenues,  as
well as improved  revenues per carload in most lines of business  were offset by
declines  in unit coal and  chemical  and  petroleum  revenues.  Lower unit coal
revenues  resulted from a reduction in tons  delivered and changes in the length
of haul. Miscellaneous chemical revenues were lower due to demand driven traffic
declines while soda ash revenues  declined  because of a new export  terminal on
the origin  railroad,  which led to substantial  volume  reductions.  Automotive
revenues improved during the third quarter of 2000 as a result of traffic growth
arising  from  continued  marketing  efforts and the  initiation  of  automotive
transload  services  at the Kansas  City  International  Freight  Gateway at the
former Richards-Gebaur Airbase.

KCSI's  consolidated  operating costs and expenses decreased $9.1 million (6.8%)
in the third  quarter of 2000 compared to the third quarter of 1999. In spite of
diesel fuel costs,  which rose  approximately  42% in the third  quarter of 2000
compared to the same period in 1999, third quarter 2000 operating costs declined
primarily due to operational  efficiencies  at KCSR and Gateway  Western.  These
operational  improvements led to a quarter over quarter decrease in salaries and
wages, car hire, purchased services,  and casualties and insurance expenses.  In
addition to higher fuel costs,  these declines were  partially  offset by higher
lease expense  associated with 50 new locomotives leased in fourth quarter 1999.
The combined  KCSR/Gateway  Western  operating  ratio for third quarter 2000 was
87.0% compared to 87.8% in the same 1999 period.

Excluding the impact of the extraordinary item discussed above,  equity earnings
related to the Company's  investment in Grupo TFM declined $1.2 million  quarter
to quarter.  Grupo TFM  revenues  improved  25% to $165.2  million for the third
quarter of 2000 from $132.1 million for the third quarter of 1999.  These higher
revenues  were  partially  offset by an  approximate  21%  increase in operating
expenses  arising  primarily  from  higher  fuel costs (87%) and higher car hire
costs (123%) due to increased  traffic volumes and congestion  related issues at
the U.S. - Mexican border.  Despite the impact of these higher  operating costs,
operating  income  rose  approximately  39% quarter to quarter  resulting  in an
operating  ratio of 76.9% in the third quarter of 2000 versus 79.1% in the third
quarter of 1999.  However,  Grupo TFM's third quarter 2000 results were impacted
by an  increase in other  expenses  related  primarily  to losses on the sale of
certain  property  and  inventory.  Additionally,  third  quarter  1999  results
included a $10.7 million deferred tax benefit  (calculated under U.S.  generally
accepted  accounting  principles - "U.S.  GAAP") caused by a weakening peso. For
the third  quarter of 2000,  the deferred tax benefit  under U.S.  GAAP was $0.1
million  (excluding the impact of the  extraordinary  item). The Company reports
its  equity  in Grupo  TFM  under  U.S.  GAAP  while  Grupo  TFM  reports  under
International Accounting Standards.

KCSI interest  expense in the third quarter of 2000 increased 24% from the prior
year quarter due to higher  interest  rates and  amortization  of debt  issuance
costs associated with the January 2000 debt re-capitalization.

Year to Date

The Company's  income from  continuing  operations for  the  nine
months ended September 30, 2000 totaled $24.4  million  versus $17.4 million in
the same  1999  period  (a 40% improvement).   KCSI's   consolidated   revenues
declined  approximately  2.7%, while operating expenses declined 2.2% period to
period.

Year to date  combined  KCSR/Gateway  Western  revenues  decreased  $7.2 million
primarily as a result of declines in coal,  export grain and  chemical/petroleum
revenues.  Similar to third quarter,  these  declines were  partially  offset by
increases  in  paper/forest   and   intermodal/automotive   revenues.   Combined
KCSR/Gateway Western operating costs decreased approximately $1.6 million period
to period primarily as a result of improvements in salaries/wages,  car hire and
materials/supplies  expenses  partially  offset by higher  fuel  costs and lease
expense (as discussed above). The combined  KCSR/Gateway Western operating ratio
was 86.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 84.9% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999.

Excluding the impact of the Grupo TFM extraordinary item discussed above, equity
earnings  from  Grupo TFM  improved  $14.0  million  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000 compared to the nine months ended  September 30, 1999.  Grupo
TFM's revenues increased 24% period to period,  while operating income increased
nearly 45%  resulting in an  operating  ratio of 72.4% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to 76.4% for the same prior period. Under U.S. GAAP,
the deferred tax benefit for Grupo TFM was $18.9 million  (excluding  the impact
of the extraordinary item) for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared
to a deferred tax benefit of $5.0 million for the same period in 1999.


Business Outlook

Michael R. Haverty,  KCSI President and Chief Executive  Officer,  said, "We are
pleased with the ongoing  results of our investment in Grupo TFM as well as with
KCSR's  success  in  maintaining  an  effective  operating  cost  structure.  We
continue,  however, to feel the impact of competitive revenue pressures and high
interest costs.

Grupo TFM's  incredible  growth  story  continues  as year to date  revenues and
operating  profit have increased  nearly 24% and 45%,  respectively.  Our equity
earnings  from  Grupo TFM for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000 have
increased  $14 million,  or almost 300%,  compared with the same 1999 period and
have been the  primary  contributor  to our income  from  continuing  operations
during 2000.  KCSI management  believes that Grupo TFM has merely  scratched the
surface of its  potential  as a leader in NAFTA  traffic  in the North  American
marketplace.

Over the course of 2000, we have significantly  improved the efficiency and cost
structure of our U.S. railroad operations.  Although there is not much we can do
to impact the price of diesel fuel, we believe we have done an  outstanding  job
of  improving  our fuel  efficiency  through the lease of 50 new  fuel-efficient
locomotives  in late 1999 as well as an  aggressive  fuel  conservation  program
initiated in mid-1999.  Additionally, we continue to see decreases in the number
of foreign  owned cars  on-line  resulting  in lower car hire  payments to other
railroads  and have reduced our salaries and wages  through the reduction of the
amount of overtime hours worked and the number of relief crews used as well as a
reduction in total employee count.

Domestically,  however, we continue to be affected by highly competitive revenue
pressures and higher interest  costs. To combat these issues,  our primary focus
is to  increase  revenues  and reduce  debt.  Through our  strategic  alliances,
marketing  agreements,  the new  International  Freight  Gateway  at the  former
Richards-Gebaur  Airbase, and access to six additional chemical customers in the
Geismar,  Louisiana  industrial  area,  we have the  opportunity  to improve our
revenue base.  We have also  developed a plan to reduce debt through the sale of
non-core   assets,   reduced  capital  spending  and  improved  cash  flow  from
operations.

KCSI  management is committed to maximizing the potential of the NAFTA franchise
and is continuously seeking opportunities to enhance shareholder value."
