                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                MARCH 31, 1995


(1)  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        It is Midland's opinion that the financial information contained in
this report reflects all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of
the results for the periods reported, but such results are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the year, due to the somewhat seasonal
nature of Midland's operations.  All such adjustments were of a normal,
recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
However, the disclosures herein when read with the annual report for 1994 filed
on Form 10-K are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

                                                                        PAGE 7


ITEM 2.         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                                  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
- ---------------------
First quarter revenues and operating earnings increased 25% and 200%,
respectively, over 1994, on record first quarter ton miles, up 22% over the
same period last year.   Contributing to the growth in earnings, in addition to
the increased volume, were significantly higher spot transportation rates,
particularly on grain and most non-coal commodities. Efficiencies from traffic
pattern improvements and unseasonably good operating conditions, as well as
continued benefits from cost reduction programs initiated in 1994, contributed
to the improved earnings.  During the first quarter of 1994, Midland incurred
higher operating costs from inefficiencies due to flooding and severe winter
icing conditions.

Coal tonnage and ton miles increased 16% and 20%, respectively, over 1994
primarily reflecting increased demand by electric utilities under long-term
contracts.  During the first quarter of 1994, contract utility coal tonnage for
one of Midland's largest customers was reduced by a contractual dispute
(favorably resolved later in the year) and another had an unscheduled plant
shutdown.  While first quarter 1995 spot and export coal tonnage declined 6%,
related ton miles increased 23% over 1994, reflecting longer average trip
lengths.  Non-coal tonnage increased 13% over 1994 with increased shipments of
grain, scrap, steel and ores, some of which represented increased backhaul
opportunities associated with water-borne imports to the United States.

Increased throughput at Midland's coal terminals and lower corporate overhead
costs also contributed to the higher operating earnings.

As a result of the improved operating results discussed above, and lower net
interest costs, Midland's net earnings for the first quarter of 1995 increased
610% as compared to last year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Capital expenditures debt repayments and dividends and advances to Parent were
funded from cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 1995.
