              ("Alleghany"), a Delaware corporation having its principal 

              executive offices at Park Avenue Plaza, New York, New York 

              10055, and relates to shares of the Common Stock, par value 

              $1.00 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Santa Fe Pacific 

              Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Santa Fe Pacific").

              is 1700 East Golf Road, Schaumburg, Illinois, 60173-5860.  

              This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D Statement filed 

              by Alleghany on September 22, 1994, by furnishing the 

              information set forth below.

              
              Item 2.   Identity and Background.
              ------    -----------------------

                        The information previously furnished in response to 

              Item 2 is supplemented as follows:

                        William K. Lavin resigned his positions as Vice 

              Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Woolworth Corporation, 

              effective September 1994.  Mr. Lavin is principally engaged

                        The second sentence of the information previously

              entirety as follows:
<PAGE>








                        As of the close of business on October 13, 1994, 

              the amount borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility to 

              fund purchases of Common Stock of Santa Fe Pacific is 

              $59 million, which constituted all outstanding indebtedness 

              under the Revolving Credit Facility at that date.

              
              Item 4.   Purpose of the Transaction.
              ------    --------------------------

                        The information previously furnished in response to 

              Item 4 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

                        Alleghany's purchases of Common Stock reported 

              herein were made to acquire an equity interest in Santa Fe 

              Pacific as an investment.  Alleghany's present intention is 

              to contribute a significant part of the shares of Common 

              Stock of Santa Fe Pacific reported herein as owned directly 

              by it to the investment assets of its Underwriters 

              Reinsurance group.  Alleghany intends from time to time, 

              depending upon market conditions, the state of affairs of 

              Santa Fe Pacific and of the businesses in which it is engaged 

              and other factors, to acquire, directly or indirectly through 

              one or more of its insurance subsidiaries, additional shares 

              of the Common Stock of Santa Fe Pacific, subject to 

              applicable laws and to the availability of shares at prices 

              deemed favorable by Alleghany.  Alleghany will continue to 

              consider its equity interest in Santa Fe Pacific and reserves 
<PAGE>








              the right to formulate such plans or proposals, and to take 

              such action, as may seem appropriate in the circumstances 

              existing at any future date.

                        On October 14, 1994, Alleghany filed with the 

              Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") and the Antitrust 

              Division of the Department of Justice (the "Antitrust 

              Division") a Notification and Report Form under the 

              Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as 

              amended (the "HSR Act"), to permit the acquisition of shares 

              of Common Stock of Santa Fe Pacific constituting less than 

              15% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Santa Fe 

              Pacific.  Pursuant to the HSR Act and the rules promulgated 

              thereunder, a person may be required to file a Notification 

              and Report Form and to observe a waiting period before 

              purchasing shares of Common Stock having a market value in 

              excess of $15 million.  Such Notification and Report Form 

              must indicate the amount for which permission to purchase is 

              sought within the following ranges:  (a) more than $15 

              million market value but less than 15% of the outstanding 

              shares of Common Stock, (b) 15% or more of the outstanding 

              shares of Common Stock but less than 25% of the outstanding 

              shares of Common Stock, (c) 25% or more of the outstanding 

              shares of Common Stock but less than 50% of the outstanding 

              shares of Common Stock, and (d) 50% or more of the 
<PAGE>








              outstanding shares of Common Stock.  An exemption from this 

              requirement permits purchases solely for the purpose of 

              investment of not more than 10% of the outstanding shares of 

              Common Stock without filing a Notification and Report Form.  

              The waiting period in respect of Alleghany's Notification and 

              Report Form will expire on or about November 13, 1994, unless 

              such waiting period is terminated earlier by the FTC or the 

              Antitrust Division or a request for additional information is 

              received from the FTC or the Antitrust Division.

                        Except as set forth above, Alleghany has no present 

              plans or intentions which would result in or relate to any of 

              the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) 

              of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
