             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.    Basis of Presentation

     Except as described below, the accompanying unaudited
     consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
     accordance with accounting policies described in the 1994 Annual
     Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the
     disclosures therein.

     In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements
     reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals,
     necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
     operations and cash flows for the periods presented.  Interim
     results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full
     year.  Certain 1994 amounts have been reclassified to conform
     with the presentation used in the 1995 financial statements.

          Income Per Share

     Income per common share of the Company is based on the weighted
     average number of shares of common stock and common stock
     equivalents outstanding during the period.

2.   Sale of Accounts Receivable

     In 1994, the Railroad entered into a revolving agreement to sell
     undivided percentage interests in certain of its accounts
     receivable, with recourse, to a financial institution.  The
     agreement, which expires March 1997, allows for sales of accounts
     receivable up to a maximum of $50 million at any one time.    The
     Railroad services the accounts receivable sold under the
     agreement.   At March 31, 1995, $50 million in accounts
     receivable had been sold pursuant to the agreement.  The Railroad
     retains the same exposure to credit loss as existed prior to the
     sale.  Costs related to the agreement vary in correlation with
     changes in prevailing interest rates.  These costs, which are
     included in Other Income, Net, were $.8 million and $.4 million 
     for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

3.   Common Stock and Dividends

     On March 2, 1995, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly
     dividend of $.25 per share which was paid April 6, 1995.  The
     Board intends to continue its policy of quarterly dividends. 
     Future dividends may be dependent on the Railroad's ability to
     pay cash dividends to the Company.  Covenants specifically restricting
     dividend payments by the Railroad were eliminated when the Senior
     Notes were prepaid. Covenants of the Railroad's New Revolver require 
     specified levels of tangible net worth.  See Notes 4 and 5. 


4.   Stock Repurchase Program 

     For the three months ended March 31, 1995, the Company paid $16.3
     million to acquire 482,100 shares of Common Stock under its
     ongoing stock repurchase program.  Such purchases were funded in
     part by a $9 million payment by the Railroad to the Company under
     the special $60 million dividend which was declared in 1994 and
     will be paid as requested by the Company.  From inception of the
     stock repurchase program in 1994 to April 30, 1995, the Company
     has paid an aggregate $22.8 million to acquire 676,100 shares of
     Common Stock, and the Railroad has paid the Company an aggregate
     $9 million of the special dividend.  Further purchases are
     dependent on market conditions, the economy, cash needs and
     alternative investment opportunities.


5.   Prepayment of Senior Notes

     On May 4, 1995, the Railroad prepaid the holders of its $160
     million Senior Notes at face value plus accrued interest and a
     prepayment penalty.  The monies used to fund the prepayment were
     provided by commercial paper, the net proceeds of the recently
     issued $100 million 7.75% 10 year-notes due May 2005 and $40
     million from existing lines of credit.   The prepayment resulted
     in an extraordinary charge of $18.4 million, $11.5 million after-
     tax, which will be recorded in the second quarter of 1995. In 
     connection with the prepayment, the Railroad amended and restated 
     its revolver with its bank lending group (the "New Revolver"). The
     New Revolver was increased to $250 million and expires in the 
     year 2000.


Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The discussion below takes into account the financial condition
and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented in
the consolidated financial statements.  
     
Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 1995 Compared to Three Months Ended March
31, 1994

     Revenues for 1995 increased from the prior year quarter by $20.0
million or 13.6% to $167.5 million.  The increase was a result of a
12.8% increase in the number of carloads coupled with an increase of
2.0% in gross freight revenue per carload.  For the quarter, the
Company experienced carloading  increases in  intermodal (68.9%), grain
and grain mill and food products (35.4%), paper (6.9%) and
chemicals (13.8%), offset by decreased coal loads (9.4%).

     Operating expenses for 1995 increased $8.1 million, or 8.4% as
compared to 1994.  Increases in fuel and depreciation were offset by
decreased lease and car hire expense.  Lease and car hire expense on a
combined basis reflects a $3.9 million decline in lease expense
primarily as a result of the Company's shift from leasing to ownership
of its fleet and a $4.3 million increase in car hire costs as increased
export grain and grain mill traffic resulted in higher costs. 
Marketing and other costs associated with the rise in business levels
($1.2 million) and  environmental charges ($1.1 million) were primarily
responsible for the shift in other operating expense between quarters.

     Operating income for 1995 increased 23.5% ($11.9 million) to
$62.5 million from $50.6 million in 1994, primarily as a result of
increased revenues cited above.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

       temporary cash investments        $  10.9       $  8.4 

     Operating activities in 1995 provided $53.7 million in cash,
primarily from net income before depreciation and deferred taxes.

     During 1995, additions to property of $24.0 million included
approximately $11.8 million for track and bridge rehabilitation and
approximately $10.0 million for equipment upgrades.  In February 1995,
the Railroad placed a $25.8 million order for 20 new SD70 locomotives
to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 1995, to update the locomotive
fleet.  For the full year 1995, the Company continues to expect base
capital spending (expenses for track and track structures) to be
approximately $65 million, with the locomotive purchases and lease
conversions the  total capital spending could be approximately $100
million to $110 million.  These expenditures are expected to be met
from current operations and other available sources.

     In the first quarter of 1994, the Railroad entered into a
receivables purchase agreement to sell undivided percentage interests
in certain of its accounts receivable, with recourse, to a financial
institution.  The agreement, which expires March 1997, allows for sales
of accounts receivable up to a maximum of $50 million at any one time. 
The Railroad services the accounts receivable sold under the agreement. 
At March 31, 1995, $50 million in accounts receivable had been sold
pursuant to the agreement.  The Railroad retains the same exposure to
credit loss as existed prior to the sale.  Costs related to the
agreement vary in correlation with changes in prevailing interest
rates.  These costs, which are included in Other Income, Net, were $.8 
million, and $.4 million for the three month periods ended March 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively.

     Under the Railroad's commercial paper program a total of $100
million can be issued and outstanding.  The program is supported by the
revolver with the Railroad's bank lending group (see below).   At March
31, 1995, $25.0 million was outstanding.  For the three months then
ended the rates ranged from 3.365% to 6.25%.  The Railroad views this
program as a significant long-term funding source and intends to issue
replacement notes as each existing issue matures.  Therefore,
commercial paper borrowings are classified as long-term.

     In connection with the Railroad's prepayment of its $160 million
Senior Notes (see below), the Railroad and its bank lending group
renegotiated the Railroad's $150 million revolver which had been
amended and restated in November 1994.  The new Revolver is for $250
million and expires in 2000.  Fees and interest rates are predicated on
the Railroad's long-term credit ratings.  Currently, the annual fee is
17 basis points and borrowings under this agreement are at LIBOR plus
32.5 basis points.   The new Revolver will be used primarily for backup
for the Railroad's commercial paper program but can be used for general
corporate purposes.  The available amount is reduced by the outstanding
amount of commercial paper borrowings and any letters of credit issued
on behalf of the Railroad under the facility.  At March 31, 1995, $25.0
million in commercial paper was outstanding and $2.4 million in letters
of credit had been issued thereby reducing the amount available under
the New Revolver.  No amounts had been drawn under the New Revolver or 
any prior revolving agreements with its bank lending group.  

     On May 4, 1995, the Railroad prepaid its then outstanding $160
million Senior Notes at fair market value plus accrued interest and a
prepayment penalty of $16.4 million.  The prepayment resulted in an
extraordinary charge of $18.4 million, $11.5 million after-tax, to be 
recorded in the second quarter of 1995.  The monies used to fund the 
prepayment were provided by Commercial Paper, the net proceeds of the 
recently issued $100 million 7.75% 10-year notes due 2005 (the "New 
Notes") and $40 million borrowed from various institutions under 
uncommitted lines of credit at interest ranging from 6.36% to 6.4% which 
may be refinanced by the Railroad's new Medium Term Note Program ("MTN").
The New Notes and any MTN's to be issued are covered by under a $200 
million shelf registration filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on April 12, 1995.  The New Notes pay interest
semi-annually in May and November and were issued pursuant to an
indenture.

     At March 31, 1995, the Railroad's public debt was rated Baa2 by
Moody's and BBB by S&P and the Railroad's commercial paper program was
rated A2 by S&P, P2 by Moody's and F2 by Fitch.  

     In 1994, in order to facilitate the stock repurchase program, the
Company entered into a $50 million 364-day floating-rate revolving loan
agreement which charges a 20 basis point annual fee, interest between
LIBOR plus 62.5 basis points to LIBOR plus 100 basis points, expires in
August 1995 and was not drawn upon through March 31, 1995.  The
Company's financing/leasing subsidiaries have approximately $31.0
million in long-term borrowing agreements which were used to acquire a
total of 61 locomotives during 1993 and 1991 and 1,522 freight cars in
1993.  

     The Company believes that its available cash, cash generated by
its operations and cash available from the facilities described above
will be sufficient to meet foreseeable liquidity requirements.

     Various borrowings of the Company's subsidiaries are governed by
agreements which contain financial and operating covenants. All
entities were in compliance with these covenant requirements at March
31, 1995, and management does not anticipate any difficulty in
maintaining such compliance.

     The Railroad has entered into various hedge agreements designed
to mitigate significant changes in fuel prices.  As a result,
approximately 46% of the Railroad's short-term diesel fuel requirements
through June 1995 are protected against significant price changes.  

     The Company declared its thirteenth consecutive quarterly cash
dividend which was paid on April 6, 1995.  The Board intends to
continue a policy of quarterly dividends with a target of 33% of
expected earnings, subject to existing conditions.  Future dividends
may be dependent on the Railroad's ability to pay cash dividends to the
Company.  Covenants specifically restricting dividend payments by the
Railroad were eliminated when the Senior Notes were prepaid. Covenants 
contained in the Railroad's new Revolver require specified levels of 
tangible net worth.  

     The Company anticipates that in addition to the $1.4 million paid
through March 31, 1995, an additional $5 million will be required in
1995 related to all previously signed labor agreements.  These
requirements are expected to be met from current operating activities
or other available sources.  As the Company continues to negotiate with
its operating unions on a local level, agreements may be reached that
could require significant lump sum payments.  The Company can not
determine whether separate agreements will be reached but management
believes available funding sources will be sufficient to meet any
required payments.  

Stock Repurchase Program

     For the three months ended March 31, 1995, the Company paid $16.3
million to acquire 482,100 shares of Common stock under its announced
$60 million 1995 stock repurchase program.  Such purchases were funded
in part by a $9 million payment by the Railroad to the Company under
the special $60 million dividend which was declared in 1994 and will be
paid as requested by the Company.  From inception of the stock
repurchase program in 1994 to April 30, 1995, the Company has paid an
aggregate $22.8 million to acquire 676,100 shares of Common Stock, and
the Railroad has paid the Company an aggregate $9 million of the
special dividend.  Further purchases are dependent on market
conditions, the economy, cash needs and alternative investment
opportunities.  The Board intends to review this program annually.

Environmental Liabilities

     The Company's operations are subject to comprehensive
environmental regulation by federal, state and local authorities.
Compliance with such regulation requires the Company to modify its
operations and expend substantial manpower and financial resources.  

     Under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 ("Superfund"), and similar state
and federal laws, the Company is potentially liable for the cost of
clean-up of various contaminated sites.  The Company  has been notified
that it is a potentially responsible party at sites ranging from those
with hundreds of potentially responsible parties to sites at which the
Company is primarily responsible.  The Company generally participates
in the clean-up at sites where other substantial parties share
responsibility through cost-sharing arrangements, but under Superfund
and other similar laws the Company can be held jointly and severally
liable for all environmental costs associated with such sites.

     The Company is aware of approximately 20 contaminated sites and
various fueling facilities at which it is probably liable for some
portion of the clean-up.  The Company has paid approximately $.2
million in 1995 toward the investigation and remediation of those
sites, and anticipates annual expenditures of $3.0 million.  During the
quarter, the Company spent an additional $1.4 million remediating
environmental spills resulting from derailments and other operating
activities.  Furthermore, recent amendments to the Clean Air Act
require the Environmental Protection Agency  to promulgate regulations
restricting the level of pollutants in locomotive emissions which could
impose significant retrofitting requirements, operational
inefficiencies or capital expenditures in the future.

     For all known sites of environmental contamination where Company
loss or liability is probable, the Company has recorded an estimated
liability at the time when a reasonable estimate of remediation cost
and Company liability can first be determined.  Adjustments to initial
estimates are recorded as necessary based upon additional information
developed in subsequent periods.  Estimates of the Company`s potential
financial exposure for environmental claims or incidents are
necessarily imprecise because of the difficulty of determining in
advance the nature and extent of contamination, the varying costs of
alternative methods of remediation, the regulatory clean-up standards
which will be applied, and the appropriate allocation of liability
among multiple responsible parties.  At March 31, 1995, the Company
estimated the probable range of its estimated liability to be $13
million to $48 million and in accordance with SFAS No. 5 had a reserve
of $13 million for environmental contingencies.  This amount has not
been reduced for potential insurance recoveries or third-party
contribution where the Company is primarily liable.

     The risk of incurring environmental liability in connection with
both past and current activities is inherent in railroad operations.
Decades-old railroad housekeeping practices were not always consistent
with contemporary standards, historically the Company leased
substantial amounts of property to industrial tenants, and the Railroad
continues to haul hazardous materials which are subject to occasional
accidental release.  Because the ultimate cost of known contaminated
sites cannot be definitively established and because additional
contaminated sites yet unknown may be discovered or future operations
may result in accidental releases, no assurance can be given that the
Company will not incur material environmental liabilities in the
future.  However, based on its assessments of the facts and
circumstances now known, management believes that it has recorded
adequate reserves for known liabilities and does not expect future
environmental charges or expenditures to have a material adverse effect
on the Company`s financial position, results of operations, cash flow
or liquidity.
  
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
"Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 - Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be
Disposed Of" (SFAS 121).  SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles to be held or used by an entity be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  The statement is
effective for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1995.  The
Company is reviewing  this statement to determine its impact, if any. 
Early adoption is not anticipated.
