  [x] Fee computed on table below per Exchange Act Rules 14a-6(i)(4) and 0-11. 
    1) Title of each class of securities to which transaction applies: Santa Fe
       Pacific Corporation common stock, par value $1.00 per share.            
    2) Aggregate number of securities to which transaction applies: 186,523,992
       shares of Santa Fe Pacific Corporation common stock.                    
    3) Per unit price or other underlying value of transaction computed        
       pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 0-11: $52 3/8(/2/)                        
    4) Proposed maximum aggregate value of transaction: $2,637,682,402(/2/)    
                                                                               
 (/1/) The filing fee previously was paid with the initial filing of the      
       preliminary proxy materials on August 8, 1994.                         
                                                                               
 (/2/) For purposes of calculating the filing fee only. Upon consummation of the
       Merger, each outstanding share of Santa Fe Pacific Corporation common 
       stock, par value $1.00 per share, will be converted into the right to
       receive 0.27 shares of Burlington Northern Inc. common stock, no par
       value. The proposed maximum aggregate value of the transaction described
       in the preliminary proxy materials is equal to one-fiftieth of one
       percent of $2,637,682,402 (calculated based on the number of shares of
       Santa Fe Pacific Corporation common stock outstanding as of June 30,
       1994, the average of the high and low reported prices of Burlington
       Northern Inc. common stock on August 5, 1994 and the exchange ration of
       0.27).
