1. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited interim
   financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal
   recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position
   as of March 31, 1995, and the results of operations and cash flows for
   the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.

   While Management believes that the disclosures presented are adequate
   to make the information not misleading, these consolidated financial
   statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
   and notes included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2. Contingencies

   matters as discussed in NOTE 17, CONTINGENCIES, appearing in the NS
   Rail Annual Report on Form 10-K for 1994, Notes to Consolidated
   Financial Statements, beginning on page 59.

   INTERCOMPANY FEDERAL INCOME TAX ACCOUNTS
   ----------------------------------------
   In accordance with the NS Tax Allocation Agreement, intercompany
   federal income tax accounts are recorded between companies in the NS
   consolidated group.  At March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, NS Rail
   had intercompany federal income tax payables (which are included in
   "Deferred income taxes" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets) of
   $261.0 million.

   CASH REQUIRED FOR NS STOCK PURCHASE PROGRAM AND NS DEBT
   -------------------------------------------------------
   Since 1987, the NS Board of Directors has authorized the purchase and
   retirement of up to 65 million shares of NS common stock.  Purchases
   under the programs have been made with internally generated cash and
   through issuances of debt by NS.  Since the first purchases in
   December 1987 through March 31, 1995, NS has purchased and retired
   60,205,100 shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately
   $2.6 billion.  Future purchases are dependent on market conditions,
   the economy, cash needs and alternative investment opportunities.

   Consistent with earlier purchases, a significant portion of the funding
   for future NS stock purchases, either in the form of direct cash or
   cash used for debt service, will come from NS Rail through intercompany
   advances or dividends to NS.  Cash required to service NS debt, which
   also may be issued for general corporate purposes, also will come
   principally from NS Rail.

4. Capital Leases

   During the first quarter of 1995, NS Rail entered into capital leases
   covering 114 new locomotives having a total cost of $134.9 million.
   The related capital lease obligations totaling $104.5 million were
   reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as debt and, because they
   were non-cash transactions, were excluded from the Consolidated
   Statement of Cash Flows.  The lease obligations carry stated interest
   rates between 8.23 percent and 8.60 percent but were converted to
   variable rate obligations using interest rate swap agreements.  The
   interest rates on these obligations are based on the six-month London
   Interbank Offered Rate, plus 35 basis points, and will be reset every
   six months with realized gains or losses accounted for as an adjustment
   of interest expense over the terms of the leases.

5. Required Accounting Change in 1994

   Effective January 1, 1994, NS Rail adopted Statement of Financial
   Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
   Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS 115), which addresses the accounting
   and reporting for investments in equity securities that have readily
   determinable fair values and for all investments in debt securities.
   For NS Rail, SFAS 115 affects only balance sheet accounts and has no
   impact on earnings.  The total unrealized holding gain on NS Rail's
   investments classified as "available for sale" at March 31, 1995, and
   December 31, 1994, net of related deferred taxes, is reflected as a
   separate component of "Stockholders' equity" in the Consolidated
   Balance Sheets.  Carrying value adjustments, which are non-cash
   transactions, are not included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash
   Flows.

<TABLE>
   Under SFAS 115, NS Rail increased the reported carrying value of
   certain short-term and long-term investments classified as "available
   for sale" at March 31, 1995, as follows:

</TABLE>


   Total unrealized holding gains increased $47.3 million during the first
   quarter of 1995.  The increased gains primarily reflect the change in
   NS' stock price from $60-5/8 per share at December 31, 1994, to $66-7/8
   per share at March 31, 1995.  "Stockholders' equity" for the three
   months increased $28.7 million as a result.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income
- ----------
"Net income" increased $1.1 million, or 1 percent, in the first quarter of
1995, compared with the same period last year.  An 11 percent improvement
in operating income was offset by reduced nonoperating income and a higher
effective income tax rate.

Railway Operating Revenues
- --------------------------
First-quarter "Railway operating revenues" increased $56.9 million, or
6 percent, compared with the same period last year.

This change in operating revenues was due to:

Coal
- ----
The decline in coal revenues compared with last year was attributable to a
weather-related decrease in long-haul utility coal shipments and continued
weakness in export coal.  Severe winter weather in the first quarter of
1994 created high demand for utility coal, while this year's mild weather
resulted in much lower burn rates at utilities served by NS Rail.  The
decline in long-haul traffic was partially offset by an increase in short-
haul utility business, including NS Rail's new COLTainer rail-truck
service.  The overall comparative weakness in utility coal traffic was
somewhat mitigated by increased movements of metallurgical coal.  Higher
metallurgical traffic is largely due to the return to service of certain
facilities which were experiencing downtime last year.

Looking ahead, the utility coal market in 1995 is expected to recover
slowly with the return of more seasonal weather patterns and temperatures.
However, most of the gain is not expected to occur until the second half of
the year due to high utility stockpiles.  The export coal market is
expected to be mixed, with lower rates offsetting increased demand,
although some improvement over 1994's depressed results is expected.

Merchandise
- -----------
All merchandise commodity groups showed improvement over last year's first
quarter, as overall merchandise traffic volume was up 12 percent.  The
largest increase was in intermodal, with revenues up 18 percent on a
23 percent increase in traffic.  Intermodal, which has been NS Rail's
fastest growing line of business in 1995, is expected to continue to expand
as additional business is shifted from trucks, and capacity improvements
generate growth from existing sources.  The metals/construction and
automotive groups also posted strong first-quarter gains, compared with
last year, with revenues up 17 percent and 11 percent, respectively.  Both
groups benefited from an overall improvement in the economy, with metals/
construction also gaining from new production facilities coming on-line.
Revenues from metals/construction traffic are expected to continue ahead of
last year, as growth is projected in construction and steel output.
Automotive volume and revenues are expected to decline somewhat due to
lower production and planned retooling downtime.

Railway Operating Expenses
- --------------------------
First-quarter "Railway operating expenses" increased $33.0 million, or
5 percent, compared with the same period last year.  The largest increase
was in "Compensation and benefits" which was up $23.9 million, or
7 percent.  The higher labor costs were partly due to the 10 percent
increase in total rail traffic.  Other factors were: (1) a 4 percent wage
increase, effective July 1, 1994, for agreement employees; (2) higher
health care costs for agreement employees due to the absorption last year
of the cash surplus in a multi-railroad insurance fund; and (3) increased

accruals for stock-based compensation, a result of the rise in the NS 
stock price during the first quarter of 1995.  "Casualties and other 
claims" increased $3.1 million, or 11 percent, over expenses in the 
first quarter of 1994, which were unusually low due to favorable 
development experience related to claims filed in past years.  Also 
increasing were "Diesel fuel" expenses, up $3.0 million, or 7 percent, 
largely due to higher consumption related to increased traffic, and 
"Depreciation," up $4.2 million, or 5 percent, due to increased 
investment in plant and equipment.  "Other expenses" declined 
$2.0 million, or 5 percent, due to lower employee moving expenses 
which had been unusually high in the first quarter of 1994 due to 
the early retirement program in the fall of 1993.

Other Income (Expense)
- ----------------------
"Other income (expense)" was down $11.5 million from first quarter 1994,
principally due to the absence of favorable interest accrual adjustments
and the reduction in corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) proceeds, both
of which benefited 1994.

Income Taxes
- ------------
The "Provision for income taxes" in first quarter 1995 totaled 
$94.1 million, for an effective rate of 38.0 percent, compared with 
an effective rate of 35.2 percent last year.  The lower effective rate 
in first quarter 1994 was due to an adjustment in federal income tax 
reserves related to prior years.

CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES are NS Rail's principal source of
liquidity and were sufficient to cover cash outflows for dividends, debt
repayments and capital spending (see Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
on page 5).  The increase in cash provided by operating activities compared
with the first quarter of 1994 was primarily due to higher income from
operations and to lower special charge payments.

CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES were affected principally by capital
spending for property additions, which in the first quarter of 1995
included approximately $30 million related to locomotives under capital
leases (see Note 4).  "Investment purchases" consists primarily of
premium payments related to COLI, while "Investment sales and other
transactions" principally reflects borrowing on COLI.

                          and Results of Operations


CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES in the first quarter of 1995
includes "Proceeds from long-term borrowings" which represents amounts
received in connection with capital lease transactions entered into
during the first quarter (see Note 4).

As discussed in Note 3, NS has issued a significant amount of long-term
debt in recent years.  The servicing of this debt is expected to be
primarily from NS Rail's funds, as it is NS' principal subsidiary.
