       Attachment to Form 3 filed by Swamp Hall Propertied, L.P. Reporting
Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock of Florida East Coast Industries




Dated January 28, 1999

Explanation of Response: Pursuant to Instruction 5(b)(v), Swamp Hall Properties,
L.P. (the "Partnership") is the Reporting Person. The Alfred I. duPont
Testamentary Trust (the "Trust") is the sole limited partner of the Partnership
and owns all of the outstanding stock in the corporate general partner of the
Partnership. The Trust contributed the shares of common stock of The St. Joe
Company (the "Parent") together with certain other assets, in exchange for the
entire limited partnership interest in the Partnership. The Trustees of the
Trust also constitute all of the directors of the Nemours Foundation (the
"Foundation"), which also directly and beneficially owns shares of common stock
of the Parent and Florida East Coast Industries (the "Issuer"). The beneficial
ownership of the common stock of the Parent and the Issuer by the Trust, the
Trustees and the Foundation has reported on respective Forms 4 previously filed
with the Commission on March 10, 1998. 19,609,216 shares of the Common Stock of
the Issuer reported as being beneficially owned by the Partnership are directly
owned by the Parent. The Partnership may be deemed the beneficial owner of such
shares of the Issuer by virtue of the fact that the Partnership directly owns
49,643,292 shares, representing 55.18%(1) of the outstanding common stock of the
Parent. In addition, Winfred L. Thornton, a Trustee and Jacob C. Belin, a
Trustee, each directly and beneficially own options (right to buy) 2000 common
shares of the Issuer, granted to them in their capacity as directors of the
Issuer, pursuant to the Florida East Coast Industries Inc. 1998 Stock Incentive
Plan. The Partnership declares that by filing this Form 3, the Partnership is
not admitting beneficial ownership of any shares of the common stock of the
Issuer directly owned by the Parent and disclaims the existence of, and its
membership in, any "group" that includes the Parent as a member.

- ------------------------

(1)This percentage is based on the number of shares issued and outstanding on
September 30, 1998 as reported in the Parent's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
dated November 12, 1998, the Parent's last public announcement as to the number
of its shares of outstanding common stock. The Parent also reported in the same
l0-Q that the Parent's Board of Directors had authorized $150 million for the
repurchase of the Parent's outstanding common stock from time to time on the
open market. If the number of shares of outstanding common stock of the Parent
has been reduced by such repurchases after September 30, 1998 there would be an
increase in the percentage of the Parent's common stock which would be
represented by the shares reported herein.
