                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.

        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.   

        Financial Condition and Other Matters 
        -------------------------------------

        Year-to-Date Cash Flow
        ----------------------

        For the three months ended March 31, 1994, net cash provided by
        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.

        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.

                       SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT AND SAVINGS PLAN

                                      ARTICLE I

                                       GENERAL

               Section 1.1   Establishment of  Plan and Purpose.   Santa Fe
          Pacific Corporation (hereinafter  the "Company"), has established
          the  Santa Fe Pacific  Supplemental Retirement and  Savings Plan,
          (hereinafter the "Plan"), effective May  1, 1994.  The purpose of
          this Plan is  to provide certain highly  compensated employees of
          the  Company and  certain of  its  subsidiaries (hereinafter  the
          "Employing Companies"), the  opportunity to defer the  receipt of
          compensation and to receive additional retirement income from the
          Employing Companies.  This plan  is not intended to qualify under
          Section 401(a) of  the Internal Revenue Code of  1986, as amended
          (hereinafter  the "Code"), or  be subject to  Part 2, 3,  or 4 of
          Title I of  the Employee Retirement Income Security  Act of 1974,
          as amended, (hereinafter "ERISA").  

               Section 1.2   Affiliated  Companies.   The term  "Affiliated
          Company" shall  mean every  corporation  (including the  Company)
          which is a  member of a controlled group  of corporations (within
          the meaning of Section 414(b) of the Internal Revenue Code).  The
          Company and  each Affiliated Company  which, with the  consent of
          the Company adopts the Plan  are referred to herein  collectively
          as  the "Employing  Companies"  and individually  as an"Employing
          Company".

               Section 1.3  Plan Administration.   The authority to control
          and manage the operation and  administration of the Plan shall be
          vested  in  the  Employee  Benefits  Committee  (hereinafter  the
          "Committee"),  appointed  to  act  under  The  Santa  Fe  Pacific
          Retirement and  Savings Plan for  Salaried Employees (hereinafter
          the  "Savings Plan").   Any  interpretation  of the  Plan by  the
          Committee or its delegate and  any decision made by the Committee
          or its  delegate on  any other matter  within its  discretion are
          final  and binding  on all  persons.   The  Committee shall  have
          discretionary authority to administer, construe and interpret the
          Plan, to  decide  all  questions  including but  not  limited  to
          eligibility,  payment of any  benefits hereunder and  to make all
          other  determinations  deemed  necessary  or  advisable  for  the
          administration of the Plan.

               The Committee  shall act  with or without  a meeting  by the
          vote or  concurrence of a majority of  its members; but no member
          of  the Committee  who is  a Participant shall  take part  in any
          Committee action or any  matter that has particular  reference to
          his own interest hereunder.  The Committee shall  administer this
          Plan  and discharge its  responsibilities hereunder in  a uniform
          and non-discriminatory manner as to all Participants.

               Section  1.4   Non-Alienation.    Benefits  payable  to  any
          individual under the Plan may not be voluntarily or involuntarily
          assigned,   alienated,   pledged   or  subject   to   attachment,
          anticipation,  garnishment,  levy,  execution or  other  legal or
          equitable process.

               Section 1.5  Source  of Benefits.  Subject to the  terms and
          conditions of the  Plan, any amount payable to or on account of a
          Participant  under this Plan  by any  Employing Company  shall be
          paid from  the general assets  of that Employing Company  or from
          one or more trusts, the assets of which are subject to the claims
          of  the Employing  Companies'  general creditors.    None of  the
          individuals entitled to  benefits under the  Plan shall have  any
          preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest  in, any
          assets of  any Employing Company  or of any  such trust, and  any
          rights of such individuals under the Plan or any such trust shall
          constitute unsecured contractual rights only.

               Section 1.6  Plan Not Contract of Employment.  The Plan does
          not constitute a contract of  employment, and nothing in the Plan
          will give  any participant the right to be retained in the employ
          of  any Employing Company, nor any right  or claim to any benefit
          under the Plan, except to the extent specifically  provided under
          the terms of the Plan.      

               Section 1.7  Notices.  Any notice or document required to be
          given to or filed with an  Employing Company, the Company or  the
          Committee shall be considered to be given or filed:

          Resources of the Company;
                    or 

               (b)  three days after the date sent by certified mail to the
          Secretary of the Company.

               Section 1.8   Applicable Law.   The Plan shall  be construed
          and administered  in accordance  with the  internal  laws of  the
          State of Illinois.

               Section 1.9   Gender and Number.  Where  the context admits,
          words in any gender shall include any other gender, words in  the
          singular shall include  the plural and  the plural shall  include
          the singular.

               Section 1.10  Plan Year. The Plan Year shall be the calendar
          year.

                                    PARTICIPATION

               Section 2.1   Participation.  The Compensation  and Benefits
          Committee of  the Company shall  establish from time to  time the
          Employing  Companies which  may  participate  and  the  class  of
          highly-compensated employees of each Employing Company who  shall
          be  eligible  for  the  benefits provided  in  Article  IV  below
          (hereinafter  the "Participants");  provided,  however, that  the
          class of eligible  employees of each  Employing Company shall  be
          limited  to  employees who  are  members  of  a select  group  of
          management  or highly compensated employees within the meaning of
          Section  401(a)(1)  of ERISA.    If the  Company  determines that
          participation by one or more Participants shall cause the Plan as
          applied to any Employing Company to be subject to Part 2, 3, or 4
          of Title I of ERISA, the  entire interest of such Participant  or
          Participants under  the Plan  shall be  immediately paid  to such
          Participant by the  applicable Employing Company, notwithstanding
          any election of the Participant, or shall otherwise be segregated
          from  the  Plan  in  the  discretion of  the  Company,  and  such
          Participant  or Participants  shall cease  to  have any  interest
          under the Plan.  

                                     ARTICLE III

                                       VESTING

               Section 3.1   Vesting.  A Participant shall  be fully vested
          in his deferral amounts and earnings at  all times and subject to
          investment gains  and losses.   A Participant shall be  vested in
          Employer Matching Contributions  in accordance  with the  vesting
          schedule set forth in Section 6.3 of the Savings Plan.

                                      ARTICLE IV

                                      DEFERRALS

               Section 4.1  Deferral  Elections.  To become a  Participant,
          subject to such  additional terms, conditions and  limitations as
          the Committee  may from  time to time  impose, a  Participant may
          make an irrevocable election to defer receipt of certain eligible
          compensation otherwise payable to him  by his Employer for a Plan
          Year by  filing a Deferral   Election Form indicating  his or her
          desire  to have  a portion  of his  or her  eligible compensation
          deferred.  Such deferral elections shall be made as follows:

               (a)  With the  approval  of the  Compensation  and  Benefits
          Committee  of  the   Board,  a  Participant  may   elect  not  to
          participate in the Savings Plan and may  elect to defer up to 12%
          of  i) Compensation  as defined  in  the Savings  Plan, ii)  base
          salary  that is not eligible compensation under the Savings Plan,
          and  iii) one-half  of  any  cash  incentive  payments  otherwise
          payable to him by his Employing Company that Plan Year; or











<PAGE>


               (b)  Unless  the Compensation and  Benefits Committee of the
          Board otherwise specifies, a Participant may elect to defer i) up
          to 12% of base salary that is not eligible Compensation under the
          Savings Plan, ii)  up to 12%  of one-half of  any cash  incentive
          payments,  and iii)  that to  the  extent that  a Participant  is
          subject to a limitation on before-tax contributions under Section
          402(g)(1)  of the  Code to  the Savings  Plan, the  amounts which
          could  have been  deferred into  the  Savings Plan  but for  such
          limitation   may  be   deferred   under   this  Plan   ("Deferred
          Compensation").

               (c)  Such  elections shall be made annually  and in writing,
          and filed with the  Committee at such time and in  such manner as
          the  Committee shall  provide.   A Participant  must specify  the
          percentage, if any,  which he chooses to defer  and authorize his
          Employing Company to make regular payroll deductions.  A separate
          notice will be  required for deferrals in  each Plan Year.   Each
          such  notice  shall  specify  the  year  in  which  the  deferred
          compensation shall be paid, which may not  be sooner than two (2)
          years after the  compensation is earned.  A  Participant may make
          additional  deferral elections for amounts payable on a specified
          date,  provided such  elections are  made at  least one  (1) year
          prior  to the  specified date  for  payment.   A Participant  may
          further defer such payment until his early  retirement date under
          the Santa Fe Pacific Retirement  Plan and may thereafter make one
          further election  to defer such amount to  a subsequent date.  In
          the  absence  of a  specified  date  for payment,  such  deferred
          compensation shall  be paid in  accordance with Article VI.   The
          Account  (as  described  below)  of  each  Participant  shall  be
          credited with  the amount deferred  by the Participant as  of the
          date  on  which the  amount  of  such  Deferred  Compensation  is
          communicated to the  Plan recordkeeper which shall be  as soon as
          reasonably  practicable  after the  date  the compensation  would
          otherwise have been  payable to Participant, or, if  such date is
          not an Accounting Date, as of the first Accounting Date occurring
          thereafter.

               (d)  A Participant may elect to suspend all future deferrals
          in a Plan Year other than  in respect to incentive payments,  and
          will not be permitted to resume participation until the next Plan
          Year.

               Section 4.2   Employer  Matching Contribution.   Subject  to
          such limitations as  the Committee may from time  to time impose,
          for  each  Plan Year,  Participants  shall  be credited  with  an
          "Employer   Matching  Contribution"   equal   to   100%  of   the
          compensation deferred hereunder that would be payable during that
          Plan Year provided that Employer Matching Contributions shall not
          exceed  4% of the  compensation eligible for  deferral hereunder,
          and provided  further that amounts  described in clause  (iii) of
          subsection  4.1(b) shall not  be treated as  deferred or eligible
          for deferral for purposes of Employer Matching Contributions.

                                   PLAN ACCOUNTING

               Section 5.1   Accounts.   The  Committee shall establish  an
          Account for each  Participant who files a  Deferral Election Form
          under  subsection  4.1.    Each  Account  shall  be  adjusted  in
          accordance with this  Article V in a  uniform, non-discriminatory
          manner,  as  of  such  periodic  "Accounting  Dates"  as  may  be
          determined by the  Committee from time to  time (which Accounting
          Dates  shall be not  less frequent than  quarterly.)  As  of each
          Accounting Date, the balance of each Account shall be adjusted as
          follows:

               (a)  first, charge to the Account balance  the amount of any
          distributions  under the Plan  with respect to  that Account that
          have not previously been charged;

               (b)  then,  credit to the Account balance the  amount of the
          compensation to be deferred by the Participant in accordance with
          the  provisions of  subsection  4.1 and  the  amount of  Employer
          Matching  Contributions to be credited in accordance with Section
          4.2  that have not previously been credited;

               (c)   then, adjust  the Account  balance for  the applicable
          assumed rate of earnings in accordance with subsection 5.2.

               Section  5.2   Adjustment  of Accounts  for  Earnings.   The
          amounts  credited to a  Participant's Account in  accordance with
          subsections 4.1 and  4.2 shall be adjusted as  of each Accounting
          Date  to  reflect  the  value  of  an  investment  equal  to  the
          Participant's  Account balance in one or more assumed investments
          that  the Committee  offers  from  time to  time,  and which  the
          Participant   directs  the  Committee  to  use  for  purposes  of
          adjusting his  Account.  Such amount shall  be determined without
          regard to  taxes that would be  payable with respect to  any such
          assumed  investment.   The Committee  may  eliminate any  assumed
          investment alternative at any time;   provided, however, that the
          Committee may not retroactively eliminate any assumed  investment
          alternative.   To  the extent  permitted  by the  Committee,  the
          Participant  may elect to have  different portions of his Account
          balance for any period adjusted on the basis of different assumed
          investments.   Notwithstanding  the election  by  Participants of
          certain  assumed investments and the adjustment of their Accounts
          based on  such investment decisions,  the Plan does  not require,
          and no  trust or other  instrument maintained in  connection with
          the Plan shall  require that any assets or amounts  which are set
          aside  in a trust  or otherwise  for the  purpose of  paying Plan
          benefits   shall   actually  be   invested   in   the  investment
          alternatives selected by Participants.

               Section  5.3  Participant  Statements.  At  least quarterly,
          the Committee shall  cause to be furnished to  each Participant a
          statement  indicating, on  the  basis  of  the  latest  available
          information, the status of the Participants' Accounts.

                             PAYMENT OF DEFERRED AMOUNTS

               Section 6.1   Termination  of  Employment.   Subject to  the
          provisions  of  subsection  1.5, upon  a  Participant's  death or
          termination  of  active   employment,  the  Participant's  entire
          Account balance, including  the Employer's Matching  Contribution
          on  amounts  deferred   prior  to  the  Participant's   death  or
          termination  date,  shall  be  paid  to  or  on  account  of  the
          Participant as follows:

               (a)   in a single  lump sum payment  as soon as  practicable
          after his date  of death or termination of  active employment, or
          if  elected  by  the  Participant  at least  one  year  prior  to
          termination, on January 31 of the year following termination; or

               (b)  if  elected by the Participant at  least one year prior
          to the  distribution or such time period as may be established by
          the Committee,  in annual  installments over a  period of  ten or
          fewer years, beginning as soon as practicable after date of death
          or termination of active employment.

               Section 6.2  Beneficiary Designation.  Each Participant may,
          from time to time by signing  a form furnished by the  Committee,
          designate  any legal  or natural  person or  persons (who  may be
          designated  contingently or  successively) to  whom  his benefits
          under the Plan are to  be paid if he dies before  he receives all
          of  his  benefits.    A  beneficiary  designation  form  will  be
          effective only when  the signed form is filed  with the Committee
          while  the Participant is  alive and will  cancel all beneficiary
          designation  forms  filed  earlier.   If  a  deceased Participant
          failed to  designate a beneficiary  as provided above, or  if the
          designated beneficiary of a deceased Participant died before him,
          his benefits shall be paid in accordance with the following order
          of priority:   (i) to his surviving  spouse, if any; (ii)  to his
          surviving children in equal shares; or (iii) 
          the  estate  of  the  last  to  die of  the  Participant  or  his
          designated beneficiary.   The benefits  under this plan  shall be
          paid  in a  lump  sum  unless the  beneficiary  has completed  an
          election form in accordance with subsection 6.1(b).

               Section 6.3  Withholding for Tax Liability.  The Company may
          withhold or  cause to  be withheld from  any payment  of benefits
          made pursuant to the Plan any taxes required to be  withheld with
          regard to such payment.

               Section 6.4   Hardship  Distributions.   The Committee  may,
          pursuant to rules adopted by it and  applied in a uniform manner,
          accelerate the date  of distribution  of a Participant's  Account
          because  of hardship  at  any  time.   "Hardship"  shall mean  an
          unforeseeable, severe  financial condition  resulting from  (a) a
          sudden and unexpected illness  or accident of the  Participant or
          his dependent  (as defined  in section 152(a)  of the  Code); (b)
          loss of the Participant's property  due to casualty; or (c) other
          similar extraordinary and unforeseeable  circumstances arising as
          a result  of events  beyond the control  of the  Participant, but
          which  may not be  relieved through other  available resources of
          the Participant,  as determined  by the  Committee in  accordance
          with uniform rules adopted by it.

                                  CHANGE IN CONTROL

               Section 7.1  Change in Control.  In the event of a change in
          control as defined  in The Atchison, Topeka and  Santa Fe Railway
          Company Severance Program, all Accounts shall be fully vested and
          the Company  shall be  obligated to transmit  funds equal  to the
          outstanding liabilities under  this Plan to such trust  as may be
          established by the  Company to provide  for security of  benefits
          hereunder.  

                                     ARTICLE VIII

                               AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION

               Section 8.1  Administrative Amendments.  The Chief Executive
          Officer  of  the   Company  may  make  minor   or  administrative
          amendments to the Plan.

               Section 8.2    Amendments and  Termination.   The  Board  of
          Directors of the Company  may amend the Plan at any  time and may
          terminate  the  Plan at  any  time  without  the consent  of  the
          participants   or  beneficiaries,   provided  however,   that  no
          amendment  shall divest  any Participant  or  beneficiary of  the
          credits to his Account, or any rights to which he would have been
          entitled if the Plan had been terminated immediately prior to the
          effective  date  of such  amendment.   Any Employing  Company may
          terminate its  participation in the  Plan at  any time,  provided
          that it has made adequate provision for  any amount payable by it
          under  the  terms  of  the Plan  as  in  effect  on  the date  it
          terminates its  participation in the  Plan.  Upon  termination of
          the  Plan as  to any Employing  Company, the Company  may, in its
          discretion applied  in a  uniform manner,  provided that  amounts
          attributed  to that  Employing Company  shall  be distributed  in
          accordance with the  provisions of 6.1.  Upon  termination of the
          Plan as to all Employing Companies, the Company may, in  its sole
          discretion applied in a uniform manner to all Participants, cause
          a lump  sum payment  of all benefits  for all Participants  to be
          made as soon  as reasonably practicable  or the date  established
          for payment under subsection 4.1(c).
