PAGE 2 PART I
Item 1. Business.
and
Item 2. Properties.
Dayton and Michigan Railroad Company (the "company") is a railroad
incorporated in the State of Ohio on March 5, 1851. It owns a line of
railroad 141 miles long which lies between Dayton and Toledo, Ohio. Under the
terms of a perpetual lease dated May 1, 1863, CSX Transportation, Inc.
("CSXT"), as successor by merger, operates the property of the company, paying
rental charges measured principally by the annual dividend requirements of the
company's outstanding shares of capital stock; consisting of two classes,
preferred and common. The company's preferred stock ($50 par value) pays
guaranteed dividends of 8%, and its common stock ($50 par value) pays
guaranteed dividends of 3-1/2%. The lease excludes from the measure of the
rental charges the dividend requirements on the company's shares owned by
CSXT. As of December 31, 1995, CSXT owned 66.7% of the company's preferred
stock and 80.39% of its common stock.
In addition to the rental charges paid by CSXT to the company for the
payment of the company's dividends, CSXT directly assumes and pays all the
operating expenses of and reimburses all taxes assessed against the company.
Since the dividends on the company's preferred and common stock are
paid from monies obtained from CSXT pursuant to a lease to CSXT, reference is
made to CSXT's Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 1995, a copy of which
is available from Patricia J. Aftoora, Vice President and Corporate Secretary
of CSXT, S/C J-160, 500 Water Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
None.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
None.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Stock and Related Stockholder Matters.
The company's common stock is listed on the Cincinnati Stock
Exchange. From a known market maker in the company's common stock, as of
March 11, 1996, a price of $20.25 per share was bid but there were no sales.
As of March 11, 1996, there were approximately 75 common shareholders of
record.
The principal source of quotations, The National Quotation Bureau,
Inc., indicated a bid of $20.25 for the company's common stock during the year
1995 but there were no ask quotations. There were no bid and ask quotations
for the company's common stock during the year 1994. There were also no bid
and ask quotations for the company's preferred stock for the two year period
1995 and 1994.
Dividends on the company's preferred and common stocks are guaranteed
at 8% on the preferred stock and 3-1/2% on the common stock pursuant to a
perpetual lease agreement dated May 1, 1863, as amended, between the company
and CSXT, more specifically referred to in Items 1 and 2, Business and

Net earnings for 1995 totaled $115,791, an increase of $21,935 from
1994 and an increase of $6,313 from 1993. The 1995 increase in net earnings
compared to 1994 resulted from higher rental income and interest income. The
1994 decrease in net earnings compared to 1993 resulted from decreases in
rental income and gain on disposition of properties which more than offset an
increase in interest income.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Shareholders and Board of Directors
Dayton and Michigan Railroad Company
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of
Dayton and Michigan Railroad Company as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related statements of earnings, cash flows, and retained earnings (deficit)
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits 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 audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above (appearing
on pages 12-17) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Dayton and Michigan Railroad Company at December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
