               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             (Dollars in thousands)
                                  (Unaudited)

1.   In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
     condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
     normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the
     financial position as of March 31, 1995, and December 31, 1994, and the
     results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended
     March 31, 1995, and March 31, 1994.

2.   The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995, and
     1994, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
     for the full year.

3.   The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to
     losses for third-party liability, property damage, and group health
     insurance coverage provided employees.  The Company is the defendant
     and plaintiff in various lawsuits resulting from its operations.  In the
     opinion of management, adequate provision has been made in the financial
     statements for the estimated liability which may result from disposition
     of such lawsuits.

     The Company is subject to proceedings arising out of environmental laws
     and regulations, which primarily relate to the disposal and use of fuel
     and oil used in the transportation business.  It is the Company's policy
     to accrue and charge against earnings environmental cleanup costs when
     it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount can be
     reasonably estimated.

     The Company is currently a party to, or involved in, legal proceedings
     directed at the cleanup of two Superfund sites.  The Company has accrued
     its allocated share of the total estimated cleanup costs for these two
     sites.  Based upon management's evaluation of the other potentially
     responsible parties, the Company does not expect to incur additional
     amounts even though the Company has joint and several liability.  Other
     proceedings involving environmental matters such as alleged discharge of
     oil or waste material into water or soil are pending against the
     Company.

     It is difficult to quantify future environmental costs because many
     issues relate to actions by third parties or changes in environmental
     regulation.  However, based on information presently available,
     management believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known
     matters will not have a material effect on the financial position or
     liquidity of the Company in any one period. As of March 31, 1995, and
     December 31, 1994, the aggregate environmentally-related accruals were
     $3.4 and $3.5 million, respectively.  Environmental liabilities are paid
     over an extended period, and the timing of such payments cannot be
     predicted with any confidence.

4.   On March 30, 1995, the Company purchased 80% of the outstanding stock of
     International Transit, Inc., through the issuance of treasury stock.
     International Transit, Inc., is a regional truck load carrier.  The
     transaction has been excluded from the Statements of Cash Flows as it
     did not result in the payment or receipt of cash.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE
          CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                                                  
                                    OVERVIEW
                                    
FEC's operating revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, as compared
with same period 1994 reflected a decrease of $12.8 million.  Discounting the
sales of realty property of $13.7 million in 1994, 1995 operating revenues
increased by $.9 million or 2.0% over first quarter 1994.  Operating expenses
in the first quarter 1995 reflected a decrease of $.3 million or .8% from 
first quarter 1994.  Operating profits decreased by $12.5 million from first
quarter 1994 to first quarter 1995 primarily because of the first quarter 1994
sales of realty property of $13.7 million.

                                    ANALYSIS
                                    
Revenues - When comparing the first quarter 1995 revenues with the same period
1994, the 1995 transportation revenues decreased by $.3 million or .9%.  Realty
revenues for first quarter 1995 reflected no land sales, but did show an
increase of $1.2 million in rents and other income.

Operating Expenses - Operating expenses in the first quarter 1995 reflected a
decrease of $.3 million or .8% as compared to the same period in 1994.  When
compared to first quarter 1994, transportation operating expenses in first
quarter 1995 decreased by $.3 million, realty operating expenses decreased by
$.4 million, and general and administrative operating expenses increased by
$.4 million.

Other Income - Other income in the first quarter 1995 reflected a decrease of
$.5 million represented by increases in other expenses of $.7 million and 
decreases in gains on sales and other disposition of property of $.1 million
offset by increases in dividends and interest income of $.3 million.

Net Income - Net income decreased by $8.7 million in first quarter 1995 when
compared to first quarter 1994.  Discounting the sales of realty property in
the first quarter 1994, and the income taxes applicable to those sales, net
income increased approxiamtely $.5 million in the first quarter 1995 when
compared to first quarter 1994.
                                    
                                    
                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
                                    
                                    
FEC's principal sources of liquidity include cash generated by operations;
earnings on invested cash; and earnings on its investment portfolio,
consisting largely of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities less than
twelve months.
                                    
Current cash generations are used for capital expenditures in the
Transportation and Realty sectors and in payment of dividends.  The
investment portfolio is informally dedicated to major real estate development.

Cash and short-term investments decreased $14.2 million to $15.2 million at
March 31, 1995, from $29.4 million at year-end 1994.  The investment portfolio
increased $15.7 million to $95.2 million at March 31, 1995, from $79.5 million
at year-end 1994.  The Company's working capital position changed from a ratio
of 2.20 to 1.00 at year-end 1994 to a ratio of 1.39 to 1.00 at March 31, 1995,
primarily due to change in portfolio from short-term investments to long-term
investments.

There was no significant change in debt, reserves, or other liabilities
during the three-month period and capital projects at March 31, 1995,
amounted to approximately $28.9 million authorized and outstanding from
$36.2 million authorized and outstanding at December 31, 1994.
