(a) The operations of Conrail substantially changed beginning June 1, 1999, when
    CSXT and NSR began operating a portion of Conrail's properties under
    operating agreements. Effective on that date, Conrail's major source of
    operating revenues became operating fees and lease rentals from CSXT and
    NSR. The composition of Conrail's operating expenses was also impacted by
    the change in operations. As a result, Conrail's 1999 results reflect both
    freight railroad operations through May 31, 1999 and Conrail's newly
    restructured operations thereafter.

(b) Net income in 2004 reflects a cumulative effect accounting change related to
    the consolidation of a locomotive leasing company that decreased net income
    by $1 million. Net income in 2003 reflects a cumulative effect accounting
    change related to the cost to remove railroad crossties that increased net
    income by $40 million.
