SANTA FE RESPONDS TO UP'S WITHDRAWAL
SCHAUMBURG, ILLINOIS, January 31, 1995 -- In response to Union Pacific's
announcement that it is terminating its offer to acquire Santa Fe, the company
stated that its directors continue to believe its proposed merger with the
Burlington Northern is in the best interests of Santa Fe shareholders, and that
Santa Fe will continue to vigorously pursue that merger.
The company urges all its shareholders to vote for the merger and to
promptly submit their proxy cards for the February 7th meeting.
