                SANTA FE PACIFIC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (UNAUDITED)

        (a) The consolidated financial statements should be read in
            conjunction with the Santa Fe Pacific Corporation ("SFP",
            "Registrant" or "Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
            year ended December 31, 1993, including those financial
            statements and notes thereto incorporated by reference from the
            Registrant's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.

        (b) In the opinion of SFP management, the consolidated statement of
            operations for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993
            reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the
            results of operations. 

        (c) The consolidated statement of operations for the three months
            ended March 31, 1994 is not necessarily indicative of the results
            of operations for the full year 1994.

        (d) On April 15, 1994, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Santa
            Fe Pacific Gold Corporation ("Gold"), filed a registration
            statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the
            public offering of approximately 15% of its common stock. 
            Following a successful completion of the offering, SFP management
            and the board of directors will decide whether to distribute the
            remaining stock of Gold to SFP shareholders.  SFP has received a
            ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that a distribution of
            its shares in Gold to SFP shareholders would not result in the
            recognition of taxable income by the Company, its subsidiaries,
            or its shareholders.

        (e) In the first quarter of 1993, The Atchison, Topeka and Santa
            Fe Railway Company ("Santa Fe Railway") completed the second
            stage of three scheduled closings on the sale to eight
            southern California transportation agencies of certain
            interests in approximately 340 miles of rail lines and
            additional property.  Santa Fe Railway received $166.9
            million in cash proceeds resulting in a pre-tax gain of
            $145.4 million.  The gain recognized is net of the cost of
            the properties and other expenses of the sale.  Proceeds of
            $126 million were used to retire debt.  The final closing
            occurred in the second quarter of 1993. 

        (f) SFP is a party to a number of legal actions and claims, various
            governmental proceedings and private civil suits arising in the
            ordinary course of business, including those related to
            environmental exposures and employee injury claims.  While the 
            final outcome of these items cannot be predicted with certainty,
            considering among other things, the meritorious legal defenses
            available, it is the opinion of SFP management that none of these
            items, when finally resolved, will have a material adverse effect
            on the annual results of operations, financial position or
            liquidity of SFP, although an adverse resolution of a number of
            these items in a single year could have a material adverse effect
            on the results of operations for that year.

        Results of Operations
        ---------------------

        Current Quarter Compared with Same Quarter of Preceding Year
        ------------------------------------------------------------

        Including special items, SFP reported first quarter net income of
        $68.1 million or $0.36 per share compared to net income of $127.1
        million or $0.68 per share last year.  Other income-net in 1994
        includes pre-tax gains of $34.2 million related to a gain on the sale
        of an investment and a favorable litigation settlement.  The first
        quarter of 1993 included a pre-tax gain of $145.4 million related to
        the sale of rail lines in southern California discussed in Note (e) of
        the notes to consolidated financial statements.  Excluding these
        special items, SFP reported net income of $47.5 million or $0.25 per
        share compared to $37.9 million or $0.20 per share last year.  

        Operating income at Santa Fe Railway for the quarter was $90.7
        million, an increase of $19.5 million or 27% over the $71.2 million
        reported in the first quarter of 1993.  The operating ratio improved
        to 85.6% from 87.8%.  Operating revenues of $631.5 million, which
        include revenue from miscellaneous transportation related items,
        improved 8% primarily driven by higher business volumes handled. 
        Freight revenues by business group for the three months ended March
        31, 1994 and 1993 were as follows:

        Intermodal revenues increased 13% to $262.1 million, reflecting higher
        direct marketing and international shipments.  Direct marketing
        revenues increased 21% primarily due to increased UPS shipments and
        higher less-than-truckload shipments.  International revenues
        increased 12% principally reflecting increased volumes with existing
        customers.  Carload Commodity revenues increased 7% to $154.0 million
        reflecting increased shipments of metals and other commodities,
        partially offset by a decline in average rates.  Bulk Products
        revenues declined 3% as lower export grain shipments were offset by
        increased coal shipments.  Automotive revenues increased 25% due to
        increased shipments of finished vehicles.

        Santa Fe Railway's quarterly operating expenses of $540.8 million
        increased 6%, principally due to the increase in volume.  Operating
        expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 consisted
        of the following:

                                                         ======    ======

        Compensation and benefits expense of $207.6 million increased only 3%  
        as increases due to the higher traffic were partially offset by
        operating efficiencies.  Contract services expense was $11.9 million
        higher principally due to increased intermodal and other traffic. 
        Equipment rents of $60.4 million increased $8.7 million primarily
        reflecting the increased volume.    

        Gold quarterly operating income of $21.6 million decreased $7.0
        million compared to the same quarter last year; however, the prior
        year included operating income from coal and aggregate assets,
        including the receipt of a $16.0 million annual coal royalty payment,
        which assets were exchanged with Hanson Natural Resources Company on
        June 25, 1993.  Gold sales increased 156,000 ounces to 209,000 ounces
        due to the addition of the mines acquired as part of the asset
        exchange, as well as increased production at the properties owned
        prior to the transaction.  Operating expenses increased reflecting the
        increase in production and higher exploration expenses due to Gold's
        expanded exploration program.  

        SFP's equity investment in the Pipeline Partnership produced operating
        income of $6.3 million in the first quarter, compared to $5.7 million
        last year, reflecting an increase in revenues from commercial and
        military shipments.

        Other income-net of $26.1 million increased $31.2 million due
        principally to a $23.7 million gain on the sale of SFP's investment in
        a publicly-traded insurance company and a pre-tax gain of $10.5
        million related to a favorable litigation settlement.  Excluding these
        items, other income-net was $3.0 million below last year due to lower
        income from real estate activities at Santa Fe Railway.  Interest
        expense of $31.7 million decreased $6.9 million from 1993 reflecting
        favorable interest rates, lower imputed interest and higher
        capitalized interest.

        operations totaled $48.3 million.  Principal sources of cash from
        operations included net earnings before depreciation and deferred
        taxes.  Uses of cash from operations included restructuring payments
        (primarily representing severance, relocation and other labor
        payments) and changes in working capital.  Additional cash was
        provided through the sale of an investment previously discussed. 
        Total capital expenditures, which include noncash transactions, for
        the first three months of 1994 were $151.2 million.  Noncash
        transactions of $47.3 million primarily represent directly financed
        locomotive acquisitions and reimbursable projects.  Capital spending
        was primarily funded through cash generated from operations, equipment
        financings and available cash balances.  

        Approximately 90% of these expenditures were used for equipment, new
        facilities, and improvements to track structure and other road
        properties at Santa Fe Railway with the balance for development of
        gold properties.  Through March 31, 1994, Santa Fe Railway had
        acquired 27 new locomotives at a cost of $33.4 million, and has
        received an additional 23 new locomotives in the second quarter of
        1994.  Also, Santa Fe Railway has recently committed to acquire an
        additional 50 locomotives which are anticipated to be received in the
        third and fourth quarters of 1994.  It is currently anticipated that
        these locomotives will be directly financed.  SFP's total 1994 capital
        expenditures are now expected to exceed $650 million including a total
        of 100 locomotives.  

        Gold Registration Statement
        ---------------------------

        On April 15, 1994, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Gold, filed
        a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
        for the public offering of approximately 15% of its common stock. 
        Following a successful completion of the offering, SFP management and
        the board of directors will decide whether to distribute the remaining
        stock of Gold to SFP shareholders.  SFP has received a ruling from the
        Internal Revenue Service that a distribution of its shares in Gold to
        SFP shareholders would not result in the recognition of taxable income
        by the Company, its subsidiaries, or its shareholders.

        Rail Restructuring
        ------------------

        Benefits for the eastern lines crew consist agreement of approximately
        $25 million annually and for centralization of certain transportation
        functions of approximately $20 million annually are being realized as
        expected and as previously disclosed.  Restructuring costs paid of
        $19.8 million for the first three months of 1994 are also being
        incurred as expected, with annual payments estimated to be
        approximately $60 million in 1994.

        Subsequent Event
        ----------------

        On April 22, 1994, the Company received an adverse appellate decision
        involving pension obligations of a subsidiary which was sold in 1984. 
        The Company has filed a petition for reconsideration of this decision. 
        The Company may record a charge related to this decision in the second
        quarter, depending upon the court's action on the petition for
        reconsideration.  The magnitude of the net charge, if any, would not
        be expected to exceed $8 million, or $0.04 per share.


                              PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
                              --------------------------

        Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
        --------------------------

             SFP is a party to a number of legal actions and claims, various
        governmental proceedings and private civil suits arising in the
        ordinary course of business, including those related to environmental
        exposures and employee injury claims.  While the final outcome of
        these items cannot be predicted with certainty, considering among
        other things, the meritorious legal defenses available, it is the
        opinion of SFP management that none of these items, when finally
        resolved, will have a material adverse effect on the annual results of
        operations, financial position or liquidity of SFP, although an
        adverse resolution of a number of these items in a single year could
        have a material adverse effect on the results of operations for that
        year.
