                     INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REVIEW REPORT


The Board of Directors
Otter Tail Valley Railroad Company, Inc.
Fergus Falls, Minnesota

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Otter Tail Valley Railroad
Company, Inc., as of December 31, 1995, and 1994, and the related statements of
operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Otter Tail Valley Railroad
Company, Inc., at December 31, 1995, and 1994, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the periods then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

OTTER TAIL VALLEY RAILROAD COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, AND 1994



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Property, Plant and Equipment - All property, plant and equipment is stated at
cost.  Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over 5 to 35 years.

Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense in the period
incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the
company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Short-term Investments - Short-term investments consist of government
securities and are valued at the lower of cost which approximates market.
These securities are intended to be held to maturity.

Materials and Supplies - Materials and supplies consist of railroad materials
for use in repairs and maintenance of the railroad line and are carried at the
lower of cost or market.

Income Taxes - For federal income tax purposes, the company and its
shareholders have elected to be taxed as an S corporation.  Under this
election, the company, as such, is not subject to federal income taxes.
Instead, each shareholder is taxed on his proportionate share of corporate
taxable earnings.  The company is subject to state income taxes for income
allocated to nonresident shareholders.  In addition, the shareholders have
elected to file a composite state tax return, whereby the corporation files the
tax return for the nonresident shareholders, and any taxes due are treated as
distributions to such shareholders.

Estimates - The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.


NOTE 2 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Otter Tail Railroad Company, Inc. provides rail freight transportation service
to various businesses along its rail properties from Fergus Falls, MN to
Moorhead, MN.  The principal commodities are coal, grain and agricultural
chemicals.  The company is located in Fergus Falls, Minnesota.


NOTE 3 - OPERATIONS

On October 26, 1986, the corporation acquired 77 route miles of rail properties
from Burlington Northern Railroad Company (BN) located in Minnesota.  The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase using the purchase price specified
in the sales contract.  The cost of the road property assets acquired was
allocated to individual assets based on their relative share of that price.
The final purchase price will be the net liquidation value of those assets.
Fair values were substantially in excess of cost, resulting in no recording of
goodwill for the transaction.

         the years ended December 31, 1995, and 1994, BN credited $0 and
         $25,559 of principal and $188,500 and $224,441 of interest,
         respectively, due to this agreement.  Actual cars interlined with BN
         for the years ended December 31, 1995, and 1994, totaled 5,746 and
         5,275, respectively.  The credit is being presented separately in the
         statement of operations as a base annual payment adjustment.

Debt Covenants - The purchase agreement that is related to the rail facilities
obligations contains requirements of, among other things, insurance coverage,
track maintenance, and record keeping.  The company was in compliance with the
debt covenants for the years ended December 31, 1995, and 1994.

Because of the aforementioned carload credit, it is not possible to determine
future maximum principal payments related to the BN indebtedness.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - PAGE 4


NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of a financial instrument is generally defined as the amount at
which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between
willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation sale.  Quoted market prices
are generally not available for the company's financial instruments.
Accordingly, fair values are based on judgments regarding anticipated cash
flows, future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk
characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors.  These
estimates involve uncertainties and matters of judgment, and, therefore, cannot
be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly
affect the estimates.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the company to estimate fair
value of the financial instruments disclosed:

Short-term Investments - Short-term Investments are carried at market, which
approximates fair value.

Long-term Debt - Based upon current borrowing rates with similar maturities,
the fair value of the long-term debt approximates the carrying values as of
December 31, 1995.
