                        This statement is filed by Alleghany Corporation 

              ("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").  

              The address of Santa Fe Pacific's principal executive offices 

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

              This Amendment No. 5 amends the Schedule 13D Statement filed 

              by Alleghany on September 22, 1994, as amended by Amendment 

              Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 filed on October 14, 1994, November 14, 

              1994, January 24, 1995 and January 25, 1995, respectively, by 

              furnishing the information set forth below.

              
              Item 4.   Purpose of the Transaction.
              ------    --------------------------
              
                        The information previously furnished in response to 

              Item 4 is hereby updated and supplemented as follows:

                        Alleghany is continuing to monitor market 

              developments regarding Santa Fe Pacific Common Stock and the 

              tax and financial effects of its previously announced 

              intention to tender shares of Santa Fe Pacific Common Stock 

              beneficially owned by it pursuant to the Offer and to 

              repurchase shares thereafter with the proceeds thereof.  

              Based upon recent market prices of Santa Fe Pacific Common 

              Stock, Alleghany does not currently expect to tender or cause 

              the tender pursuant to the Offer of the shares of Santa Fe 

              Pacific Common Stock which it beneficially owns.  Alleghany 


                               Page 5 of 7 pages

              will make its final determination whether or not to tender 

              its shares, in whole or in part, pursuant to the Offer 

              shortly before the expiration of the Offer, which is 

              presently scheduled to occur at 12:00 Midnight, New York City 

              time, on Wednesday, February 8, 1995.

                        As reported elsewhere herein, on the date hereof, 

              Alleghany beneficially owns 18,061,996 shares of Common Stock 

              of Santa Fe Pacific.  On February 6, 1995, the Executive 

              Committee of the Board of Directors of Alleghany authorized 

              purchases of an additional 4.5 million shares of Santa Fe 

              Pacific Common Stock, but not more than 15% of the 

              outstanding Common Stock of Santa Fe Pacific.  Alleghany's 

              purchase of additional shares of Santa Fe Pacific Common 

              Stock is dependent upon market conditions, the state of 

              affairs of Santa Fe Pacific and of the businesses in which it 

              is engaged and other factors, and is subject to applicable 

              laws and to the availability of shares at prices deemed 

              favorable to Alleghany.
