GENESEE & WYOMING INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The interim consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Genesee
& Wyoming Inc. and its subsidiaries. References to we, our, or us mean Genesee & Wyoming
Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and when we use the term ARG we are referring to the
Australian Railroad Group Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries. ARG is our 50%-owned affiliate based in
Perth, Western Australia. Additionally, we have a 22.89% indirect ownership interest in our
affiliate, Ferroviaria Oriental, S.A. (Oriental), which is located in eastern Bolivia. All
references to currency amounts included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including the
financial statements, are in U.S. dollars unless specifically noted otherwise. All significant
intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim
consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and accordingly do not contain
all disclosures which would be required in a full set of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). In the
opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements for the three-month and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, are presented on a basis consistent with audited financial statements
and contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results of operations for the full year. The interim consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 2004 included in our 2004 Form 10-K. Certain prior period balances have been
reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation.
2. EXPANSION OF OPERATIONS:
On
June 1, 2005, we acquired from Rail Management
Corporation (RMC), substantially all of its rail
operations (collectively, Rail Partners) for $238.2 million in cash (net of $4.9 million received),
the assumption of $1.4 million of non-interest bearing debt and $1.3 million in acquisition costs.
The purchase price was allocated to current assets ($19.5 million including $4.9 million in cash
received), property and equipment ($185.2 million), intangible assets ($60.4 million), and goodwill
($0.2 million) less currents liabilities ($20.8 million) and debt assumed ($1.4 million). The
intangible assets consist of customer contracts and relationships with a weighted average
amortization period of 27 years. Goodwill of $0.2 million is expected to be deductible for tax
purposes. For U.S. tax purposes, we will treat the Rail Partners acquisition as a
purchase of assets. We funded the purchase price through a combination of our newly expanded
$225.0 million senior revolving credit facility and by completing a private placement of $125.0
million 10-Year Senior Floating Rate Notes. The acquired rail properties are operated by our
Jacksonville-based Rail Link Region and commenced operations on June 1, 2005.
Rail Partners is composed of fourteen rail operations and ancillary businesses with locations
throughout the South and Southeast United States, including Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia,

On April 8, 2005, our subsidiary, the First Coast Railroad Inc. (FCRD) signed a 20-year
agreement to lease 31 miles of rail line between Seals, Georgia and Fernandina, Florida from CSX
Transportation, Inc. (CSX). The FCRD is operated by our Rail Link Region and commenced operations
on April 9, 2005.
In July 2005, our Homer City Branch, which was acquired in January of 2004, began operations
upon completion of track rehabilitation, a portion of which was funded through government grants.
The Homer City Branch rail line is operated by our New York-Pennsylvania Region and is contiguous
to that Regions existing railroad operation.

The unaudited pro forma operating results include the acquisition of Rail Partners adjusted,
net of tax, for depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the step-up of the Rail
Partners property and intangible assets based on appraised values, capitalization of certain track
repairs which were historically expensed, and the inclusion of incremental interest expense related
to borrowings used to fund the acquisition.
The
Rail Partners operating results reflected in these pro forma
operating results include certain senior management, administrative,
deferred compensation and other expenses that we do not believe will
continue as ongoing expenses but do not qualify for elimination under
the treatment and presentation of pro forma financials.
The pro forma financial information does not purport to be indicative of the results that
actually would have been obtained had all the transactions been completed as of the assumed dates
and for the periods presented and are not intended to be a projection of future results or trends.

Stock-based Compensation Plans
The Compensation and Stock Option Committee of our Board of Directors has discretion to
determine grantees, grant dates, amounts of grants, vesting and expiration dates for grants to our
employees through our 2004 Omnibus Incentive Plan. We account for this plan under APB Opinion No.
25, under which no compensation cost has been recognized except for
restricted stock. Had compensation cost for all options
issued under these plans been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, our net income and earnings
per share would have been reduced as follows (in thousands, except EPS):

The above data does not include non-recourse debt of $12.0 million held at an intermediate
unconsolidated affiliate or any of the general and administrative, interest or income tax costs at
various intermediate unconsolidated affiliates. Our share of the various costs from the
intermediate unconsolidated affiliates is $45,000 and $249,000 for the three months and $72,000 and
$456,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
As noted previously, we hold our equity interest in Oriental through a number of intermediate
holding companies, and we account for our interest in Oriental under the equity method of
accounting. We indirectly hold a 12.52% equity interest in Oriental through an interest in Genesee
& Wyoming Chile (GWC), and we hold our remaining 10.37% equity interest in Oriental through other
companies. GWC is an obligor of non-recourse debt of $12.0 million, which has an adjustable
interest rate dependent on operating results of Oriental. This non-recourse debt is secured by a
lien over GWCs 12.52% indirect equity interest in Oriental.
This debt became due and payable on November 2, 2003. Due to the political and economic
unrest and uncertainties in Bolivia, it has become difficult for GWC to refinance this debt and we
have chosen not to repay the non-recourse obligation. GWC entered into discussions with its
creditors on plans to restructure the debt, and as a result of those discussions, GWC obtained a
written waiver of principal repayment from the creditors which expired on January 31, 2004.
However, negotiations with the creditors continue, and currently, none of GWCs creditors
have commenced court proceedings to (i) collect on the debt, or (ii) exercise their rights pursuant
to the lien.
13
If we were to lose our 12.52% equity stake in Oriental due to creditors exercising their lien
on GWCs indirect equity interest in Oriental, we would write-off our investment in Oriental held
through GWC, which on June 30, 2005 amounted to $400,000. A default, acceleration or effort to
foreclose on the lien under the non-recourse debt will have no impact on our remaining 10.37%
equity interest in Oriental because that equity interest is held indirectly through holding
companies outside of GWCs ownership in Oriental. As a result of the uncertainty surrounding the
$12.0 million debt, we discontinued equity accounting for our 12.52% equity interest in Oriental
held through our interest in GWC.
Oriental has no obligations associated with the $12.0 million debt. In addition, a default,
acceleration or effort to foreclose on the lien under the non-recourse debt would not result in a
breach of a representation, warranty, covenant, cross-default or acceleration under our Senior
Credit Facility.
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Legal Proceedings On March 31, 2004, Messrs. Chambers and Wheeler filed a complaint against
Genesee & Wyoming Inc. in the Chancery Court of Delaware. The complaint relates to the sale by the
plaintiffs in April 1999 to us of their ownership interests in certain of our Canadian operations.
Under the terms of the purchase agreement, among other things, the plaintiffs were granted options
to purchase up to 270,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.56 per
share if certain of our Canadian operations had achieved certain financial performance targets in
any annual period between 1999 and 2003. The complaint alleges that these financial performance
targets have been met, and the plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment
that the options granted under the purchase agreement have vested and are exercisable. We believe the claim is without merit, and we intend to vigorously
defend this lawsuit. On January
5, 2005 the plaintiffs filed a motion for summary judgment. On March 15, 2005, we filed our own
motion for summary judgment. The Delaware Chancery Court held oral arguments on the cross motions
on May 24, 2005. Following the argument, the Court ordered additional discovery and briefing,
which has been completed. We are currently awaiting the Courts decision on the summary judgment
motions.
In addition, from time to time we are a defendant in certain lawsuits resulting from our
operations. Management believes that we have adequate provisions in the financial statements for
any expected liabilities which may result from disposition of such lawsuits. While it is possible
that some of the foregoing matters may be resolved at a cost greater than that provided for, it is
the opinion of management that the ultimate liability, if any, will
not be material to our operating results, financial position or
liquidity.

8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
We actively monitor our exposure to interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks and
use derivative financial instruments to manage the impact of certain of these risks. We use
derivatives only for purposes of managing risk associated with underlying exposures. We do not
trade or use instruments with the objective of earning financial gains on the interest rate or
exchange rate fluctuations alone, nor do we use instruments where there are not underlying cash
exposures. Complex instruments involving leverage or multipliers are not used. We manage our
hedging position and monitor the credit ratings of counterparties and do not anticipate losses due
to counterparty nonperformance. Management believes that our use of derivative instruments to
manage risk is in our best interest. However, our use of
derivative financial instruments may result in short-term gains or losses and increased earnings
volatility.
16
Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest Rate Risk
We use interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates for
our floating rate debt. Interest rate swap agreements are accounted for as cash flow hedges.
Interest rate differentials to be received or paid on the swaps are recognized in the consolidated
statements of income as a reduction or increase in interest expense, respectively. In accordance
with the derivative accounting requirements, the change in the fair value of the derivative
instrument is recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of current assets or
liabilities, and the effective portion of the change in the value of the derivative instrument is
recorded in other comprehensive income. The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of
the derivative instrument is recorded in earnings and reported in the consolidated statements of
income in interest expense.
During 2004, 2003 and 2002, we entered into various interest rate swaps fixing our base
interest rate by exchanging our variable LIBOR interest rates on long-term debt for a fixed
interest rate. Several interest rate swaps were terminated in November 2004 in conjunction with
the debt refinancing. The remaining swaps expire at various dates through September 2007, and the
fixed base rates range from 4.5% to 5.46%. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the notional
amount under these agreements was $30.2 million and $32.8 million, respectively, and the fair value
of these interest rate swaps was negative $995,000 and negative $1.1 million, respectively.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We use purchased options to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk related to certain
projected cash flows related to foreign operations. Foreign currency exchange rate options are
accounted for as cash flow hedges. In accordance with the derivative accounting requirements, the
change in the fair value of the derivative instrument is recorded in the consolidated balance
sheets as a component of current assets or liabilities, and the effective portion of the change in
the value of the derivative instrument is recorded in other comprehensive income. The ineffective
portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument, along with the gain or loss
on the hedged item, is recorded in earnings and reported in the consolidated statements of income
in interest expense.
During 2005 and 2004, we entered into various exchange rate options that establish exchange
rates for converting Mexican Pesos to U.S. Dollars. One of the options expired in March 2005. The
remaining options, which expire September 2005 and March 2006, respectively, give us the right to
sell Mexican Pesos for U.S. Dollars at exchange rates of 12.68 and 13.64 Mexican Pesos to the U.S.
Dollar, respectively. We paid up-front premiums of $20,000 for the options in the quarter ended
March 31, 2005. At June 30, 2005, the notional amount under exchange rate options was $3.6 million
and the fair value was approximately $0.

The Chiapas-Mayab Operating License is being amortized over 30 years, which is the
original life of the concession agreement with the Mexican Communications and Transportation
Department. The Chiapas-Mayab Operating License is subject to exchange rate changes resulting from
conversion of Mexican Pesos to U.S. Dollars at different periods.
On July 23, 2003 as a result of a settlement agreement with Commonwealth Edison Company, we
amended and restated the Service Assurance Agreement and began to amortize the Amended and Restated
Service Assurance Agreement (ARSAA). The estimate of the useful life of the ARSAA asset is based
on our estimate that the useful life of the coal-fired electricity generation plant, to which the
Illinois and Midland Railroad provides service, will be through 2027.
The Transportation Services Agreement (the TSA), entered into in conjunction with the
Georgia-Pacific Corporation (GP) transaction, is a 20-year agreement to provide exclusive rail
transportation service to GP facilities. We believe that the customers facilities have a 30-year
economic life and that we will continue to be the exclusive rail transportation service provider
until the end of the plants useful life. Therefore, the TSA is being amortized on a straight-line
basis over a 30-year life which began January 1, 2004.
We allocated $60.4 million of the purchase price for the Rail Partners acquisition to
intangible assets. These intangible assets were valued as customer relationships or contracts and,
as of June 1, 2005, are amortized on a straight line basis over the expected economic longevity of
the customer relationship, the facility served or the length of the customer contract. The
weighted average life of the intangible assets is 27 years.
The Track Access Agreements are perpetual trackage agreements assumed in our acquisition of
Utah Railway Company. Under SFAS No. 142 these assets have been
18
determined to have an indefinite useful life and therefore are not subject to amortization.
Deferred financing costs are amortized over terms of the related debt using the
effective-interest method for the term debt and using the straight-line method for the revolving
loan portion of debt.
Other assets consist primarily of executive split dollar life insurance, assets held for sale
and a minority equity investment in an agricultural facility. Executive split dollar life
insurance is the present value of life insurance benefits which we funded but that are owned by
executive officers. We retain a collateral interest in a portion of the policies cash values and
death benefits. Assets held for sale or future use primarily represent surplus track and
locomotives.
Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, amortization of goodwill was discontinued as of January 1,
2002. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:

Employer Contributions
We previously disclosed in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, that
we expected to contribute $212,000 to our pension plan in 2005. As of June 30, 2005, $95,945 of
contributions has been made. We presently anticipate contributing an additional $116,055 to fund
our pension plan in 2005 for a total of $212,000.
11. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payments. This statement requires that companies recognize compensation expense equal
to the fair value of stock options or other share-based payments. On April 14, 2005, the
Securities and Exchange Commission deferred the effective date of this statement to January 1,
2006. We plan to early adopt FASB No. 123(R) in the third quarter of 2005 and we are in the
process of evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset
Retirement Obligationsan interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 143. This Interpretation clarifies that the term
conditional asset retirement obligation, as used in FASB Statement
No. 143, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset
retirement activity in which the timing or method of settlement, or
both, are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within
the control of the entity. An entity is required to recognize a
liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement
obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably
estimated. We are assessing the impact of the interpretation on its
financial statements. The Interpretation will require the recording
of a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the
fourth quarter of 2005, if applicable.
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS
154) which supersedes APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS NO. 3, Reporting Accounting
Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for
and reporting of voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes required by an accounting
pronouncement when the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. This
statement requires the retroactive application to prior periods financial statements of changes in
accounting principles, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period specific effects
or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and
correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not expect the
adoption of SFAS 154 to have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations and
financial condition.
In June 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 143-1, Accounting for
Electronic Equipment Waste Obligations. FSP No. 143-1 was issued to address the accounting for
obligations associated with Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
adopted by the European Union. FSP No. 143-1 is effective for reporting periods after June 8, 2005
and we adopted effective June 30, 2005. The adoption of this FSP has no material impact on the
consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT DEBT REFINANCING:
On July 26, 2005, we completed a private placement of $100.0 million 10-Year senior notes and
$25.0 million floating rate 7-year senior notes. The senior notes
are unsecured but are guaranteed by substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries. The $100.0
million senior notes bear interest at 5.36%, and the $25.0 million
20
floating rate notes have a
borrowing rate of LIBOR plus 0.70% and had an interest rate of 4.35% as of the July 26, 2005
closing date. We used the proceeds of the senior notes to repay the $125.0 million 10-Year
Floating Rate Notes issued in connection with the acquisition of Rail Partners (see Note 2).
21
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and with the consolidated financial statements, related notes and other financial
information included in our 2004 Form 10-K.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report and other documents referred to in this report may contain forward-looking statements based on current expectations,
estimates and projections about our industry, managements beliefs, and assumptions made by management. Words such as anticipates,
intends, plans, believes, seeks, estimates, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks,
uncertainties and assumptions, including the following risks applicable to all of our operations: risks related to the acquisition
and integration of railroads; difficulties associated with customers, competition, connecting carriers, employees and partners;
derailments; adverse weather conditions; unpredictability of fuel costs; changes in environmental and other laws and regulations to
which we are subject; general economic and business conditions; and additional risks associated with our foreign operations.
Therefore, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or forecast in any such forward-looking statements. Such risks
and uncertainties include, in addition to those set forth in this Item 2, those noted in our 2004 Form 10-K under Risk Factors. We
undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.
General
When comparing our results of operations from one reporting period to another, you should consider the fact that we have
historically experienced fluctuations in revenues and expenses due to one-time freight moves, customer plant expansions and
shut-downs, sales of land and equipment, accidents and derailments. In periods when these events occur, results of operations are
not easily comparable to other periods. Also, we have completed a number of recent acquisitions. Because of variations in the
structure, timing and size of these acquisitions our operating results in any reporting period may not be directly comparable to our
operating results in other reporting periods. In particular, for the periods reported, we completed the following acquisitions and
other projects:
On June 1, 2005, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of RMCs rail operations for $238.2 million in cash (net of $4.9
million received), the assumption of $1.4 million of non-interest bearing debt and $1.3 million in acquisition costs. The purchase
price was allocated to current assets ($19.5 million including $4.9 million in cash received), property and equipment ($185.2
million), intangible assets ($60.4 million), and goodwill ($0.2 million) less current liabilities ($20.8 million) and debt assumed
($1.4 million). We funded the $243.0 million cash purchase price through a combination of our newly expanded $225.0 million senior
revolving credit facility and by completing a private placement of $125.0 million 10-Year Senior Floating Rate Notes. The acquired
rail properties are operated by our Rail Link Region and commenced operations on June 1, 2005.
On April 8, 2005, the FCRD signed a 20-year agreement to lease 31 miles of rail line between Seals, Georgia and Fernandina, Florida
from CSX. The FCRD is operated by our Rail Link Region and commenced operations on April 9, 2005.
In July 2005, our Homer City Branch, which was acquired in January of 2004, began operations upon completion of track
rehabilitation, a portion of which was funded
22
through government
grants. The Homer City Branch rail line is operated by our New York-Pennsylvania Region and is
contiguous to that Regions existing railroad operation.
In addition, certain of our commodity shipments are sensitive to general economic conditions
in North America, including paper products in the United States and Canada, chemicals in the United
States, and cement in Mexico. However, shipments of other important commodities such as salt are
less affected by economic conditions and are more closely affected by the weather.
For a complete description of our accounting policies, see Note 2 to the audited consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004
included in our 2004 Form 10-K. Results of
Operations

North American Operating Revenues
Overview
Operating revenues (which exclude revenues from our equity investments) were $92.7 million in
the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to $74.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an
increase of $18.6 million or 25.2%. The $18.6 million increase in operating revenues consisted of
$5.0 million, $2.7 million, $900,000 and $600,000 in revenues from Rail Partners, TZPR, FCRD and
Savannah Wharf operations, respectively, and an increase of $9.5 million, or 12.9%, in revenues on
existing North American operations. The following table sets forth operating revenues by
acquisitions and existing operations for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):

The following information discusses the material changes in commodity groups on
existing North American freight revenues.
Pulp and paper revenues increased by $1.8 million on existing North
American operations, of which $1.0 million was from our Canada Region and $800,000 was
from our Rail Link Region due primarily to increased carloads.
24
Coal, coke and ores revenues increased by $200,000 from increased shipments on existing North
American railroad operations from hauling carloads of coal primarily for electricity generating
facilities.
Lumber and forest products revenues increased by $1.7 million on existing operations of which
$900,000 was from our Oregon region, $500,000 was from our Rail Link Region and the remaining
$300,000 increase was from our New York-Pennsylvania and Canada Regions due to a
combination of increased carloads and rate and fuel escalation increases.
Minerals
& stone revenues increased by $1.0 million on existing
operations. $500,000 was from
our Mexico Region primarily due to an increase in carloads, and $500,000 was from all other Regions
primarily due to a combination of increased carloads and rate and fuel escalation increases.
Metals revenues increased by $1.0 million on existing operations, primarily in our Canada, New
York-Pennsylvania and Oregon Regions due to a combination of increased carloads and rate and fuel
escalation increases.
Chemicals & Plastics revenues increased by $600,000 on existing operations, primarily in our
Canada and New York-Pennsylvania Regions due to a combination of increased carloads and rate and
fuel escalation increases.
Total North American carloads were 181,643 in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to
157,462 in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an increase of 24,181 carloads or 15.4%. The increase
consisted of 18,971 carloads from Rail Partners, TZPR and FCRD operations, and an increase of 5,210
carloads, or 3.3%, on existing operations.
The overall average revenues per carload increased 7.0% to $380, in the quarter ended June 30,
2005, compared to $355 per carload in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 due to a
combination of rate increases, fuel escalation pass-through clauses in transportation agreements
and a change in the mix of business.
Non-Freight Revenues
North American non-freight revenues were $23.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2005,
compared to $18.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $5.6 million, or
30.6%. The $5.6 million increase in non-freight revenues consisted of $1.4 million, $1.1 million,
$600,000 and $100,000 in non-freight revenues from Rail Partners, TZPR, Savannah Wharf and FCRD
operations, respectively, and $2.4 million in non-freight revenues on existing North American
operations. The following table compares North American non-freight revenues for the quarters

Labor and benefits expense was $29.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to
$25.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $4.6 million, or 18.5%. The
increase was attributable to $1.6 million in labor and benefits expense from Rail Partners, TZPR,
Savannah Wharf and FCRD operations, and an increase of $3.0 million from existing operations. The
increase from existing operations was due to increased man-hours resulting from higher freight
shipments and regular wage and benefit increases. As a percentage of total revenues, labor and
benefits decreased in 2005 to 31.9% from 33.7% in 2004.
Equipment rents were $8.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to $6.3 million
in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $1.8 million or 28.1%. The increase was
attributable to $800,000 in equipment rents from Rail Partners, TZPR, Savannah Wharf and FCRD
operations, and an increase of $1.0 million from existing operations primarily due to car hire
expense from increased freight shipments. As a percentage of total revenues, equipment rents
increased in 2005 to 8.8% from 8.6% in 2004.
27
Purchased services were $6.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to $4.5
million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $1.6 million or 34.8%. The increase was
attributable to $600,000 in purchased services from Rail Partners, TZPR, Savannah Wharf and FCRD
operations, and an increase of $1.0 million from existing operations primarily due to the provision
of terminal services in our Mexico Region. As a percentage of total revenues, purchased services
increased in 2005 to 6.5% from 6.1% in 2004.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $5.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2005,
compared to $4.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $900,000 or 19.2%. The
increase was attributable to $700,000 in depreciation and amortization from Rail Partners, TZPR,
Savannah Wharf and FCRD operations, and an increase of $200,000 from existing operations. As a
percentage of total revenues, depreciation and amortization decreased in 2005 to 6.1% from 6.4% in
2004.
Diesel fuel expense was $8.9 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to $5.7
million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $3.2 million or 57.2%. The increase was
attributable to $500,000 in diesel fuel from Rail Partners, TZPR, Savannah Wharf and FCRD
operations, and an increase of $2.7 million on existing operations of which $2.3 million was due to
a 35.7% increase in the average price per gallon. As a percentage of total revenues, diesel fuel
increased in 2005 to 9.6% from 7.6% in 2004.
Casualties and insurance expense was $5.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared
to $3.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $1.8 million or 50.6%. The
increase was attributable to $200,000 in casualties and insurance from Rail Partners, TZPR,
Savannah Wharf and FCRD operations, and an increase of $1.6 million from existing operations due to
a $1.1 million increase in derailment expense primarily in our Canada and Mexico Regions and a
$700,000 increase in FELA and third party claims, offset by a $200,000 decrease on all other
casualties and insurance expense. As a percentage of total revenues, casualties and insurance
increased in 2005 to 5.9% from 4.9% in 2004.
Materials expense was $4.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to $3.6
million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $1.2 million or 33.5%. The increase was
attributable to $400,000 in material from Rail Partners, TZPR, Savannah Wharf and FCRD operations,
and an increase of $800,000 on existing operations primarily in our Canada Region due to increased
track and equipment maintenance and the strengthening of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S.
dollar. As a percentage of total revenues, materials increased in 2005 to 5.2% from 4.9% in 2004.
All other expenses combined were $8.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to
$7.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $1.1 million or 15.2%. The
increase was attributable to $1.1 million from Rail Partners, TZPR, Savannah Wharf and FCRD
operations of which $800,000 is property lease expense on TZPR. As a percentage of total revenues,
all other expenses decreased in 2005 to 8.7% from 9.5% in 2004.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $2.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to $2.3 million
in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $500,000, or 24.3%, primarily due to higher
outstanding debt resulting from the June 1, 2005 acquisition of Rail Partners.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other expense, net in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, was $500,000 compared to other income
of $200,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $700,000.
28
The decrease is primarily
due to a non-cash exchange rate translation loss of $700,000 on U.S. dollar-denominated debt held
in Mexico.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, was 30.2% compared to 37.7%
in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The decrease was primarily attributable to an income tax
credit enacted as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 that reduced tax expense by
approximately $2.0 million. The legislation provides for a credit against U.S. income taxes for
track maintenance expenditures incurred from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2007. The credit
is equal to 50% of qualifying expenditures and is limited to $3,500 multiplied by the number of
miles of U.S. railroad track we own or lease.
Equity in Net Income of International Affiliates
Equity earnings of international affiliates were $2.5 million in the quarter ended June 30,
2005, compared to $3.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $1.2 million.
Equity earnings in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, consisted of $2.3 million from Australian
Railroad Group and $200,000 from South American affiliates. Equity earnings in the quarter ended
June 30, 2004, consisted of $3.5 million from Australian Railroad Group and $200,000 from South
American affiliates. See additional information regarding ARGs financial results and the impact
of exchange rate changes in Supplemental Information Australian Railroad Group.
Net Income and Earnings Per Share
Net income in the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $11.4 million compared to net income of
$10.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $600,000 or 4.9%. The increase in
net income was the result of an increase in North American operations of $1.8 million, offset by a
decrease in equity in net income of international affiliates of $1.2 million.
Basic Earnings Per Share increased by $0.02, or 4.5%, to $0.46 in the quarter ended June 30,
2005, from $0.44 in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Diluted Earnings Per Share increased by
$0.02, or 5.1%, to $0.41 in the quarter ended June 30, 2005 from $0.39 in the quarter ended June
30, 2004. Weighted average shares for basic and diluted were 24.5 million and 27.7 million,
respectively, in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to 24.2 million and 27.5 million,
respectively, in the quarter ended June 30, 2004.
Supplemental Information Australian Railroad Group
ARG is owned 50% by us and 50% by Wesfarmers Limited, a public corporation based in Perth,
Western Australia. We account for our 50% ownership in ARG under the equity method of accounting.
As a result of the strengthening of the Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar in 2005, the
average currency translation rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, was 6.6% more favorable than
the rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the impact of which should be considered in the
following discussions of equity earnings, freight and non-freight operating revenues, and operating
expenses.
In the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we recorded $2.3 million and $3.5 million,
respectively, of equity earnings from ARG, which is reported in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income under the caption Equity in Net Income of International Affiliates
Australia. The following table provides ARGs freight revenues, carloads and average freight
revenues per carload for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

ARGs freight revenues were $67.8 million in the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. In
local currency, freight revenues decreased 6.8% in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to the
quarter ended June 30, 2004.
Total ARG carloads were 237,353 in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to 247,886 in the
quarter ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of 10,533, or 4.2%. The net decline of 10,533 carloads
resulted primarily from a decrease in grain of 24,112 carloads due to smaller grain harvests in
Western Australia and South Australia and shipping delays associated with the export of grain.
There was also a decrease in hook and pull (haulage traffic) of 977 carloads due to cessation of
hay service in South Australia in July 2004. These declines were partially offset by an increase
in bauxite of 6,198 carloads and an increase in iron ore of 5,894 carloads due to the expansion of
customer production facilities in Western Australia. All other commodities combined increased
2,464 carloads. Average freight revenues per carload increased from $273 to $286. In local
currency, the average revenue per carload decreased 2.6% due principally to the change of mix in
business.
ARG Non-Freight Revenues
ARGs non-freight revenues were $18.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to
$13.9 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $4.3 million or 30.5%. In local
currency, non-freight revenues increased 21.0% in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to the
quarter ended June 30, 2004. The $4.2 million increase in non-freight revenues was primarily
attributable to an increase in third party track access fees, higher fuel sales to third parties,
and a higher level of track and crossing work carried out for third parties. The following table
compares ARGs non-freight revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004:

Labor and benefits expense as a percentage of revenues increased to 20.5% in the quarter ended
June 30, 2005, compared to 18.3% in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. In local currency, labor and
benefits increased 10.0% in 2005 compared to 2004. The increase was primarily due to an increase
in employee costs associated with a switch of locomotive maintenance work from external contractors
to in-house employees, an increase in employee wages in all States, and the hiring and training of
new locomotive drivers.
Purchased services decreased to 19.2% of revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared
to 24.8% of revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. In local currency, purchased services
decreased 24.3% in 2005 compared to 2004. The decrease was due to a
switch of locomotive
maintenance work from external contractors to in-house employees, a decrease in the average number of
contract locomotive drivers by 55 individuals compared with 2004, and a reduction in grain transfer
costs.
31

quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to 7.8% in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. In local
currency, depreciation and amortization increased 21.2% in 2005 compared to 2004. The increase was
primarily due to higher depreciation related to an increase in capital expenditures.

2005, compared to 7.2% of revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. In local currency, the cost
of fuel used in operations increased 28.0% in 2005 compared to 2004 due to a 39.9% increase in fuel
prices partially offset by a 7.9% reduction in fuel consumed due to lower freight traffic.
Diesel fuel sold to third parties increased to 7.0% of revenues in the quarter ended June 30,
2005, compared to 5.7% of revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. In local currency, the cost
of diesel fuel sold to third parties increased 21.1% in 2005 compared to 2004. The increase was
due to an increase in fuel prices.

compared to 1.6% of revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. In local currency, casualties and
insurance increased 55.3% in 2005 compared to 2004. The increase was due to damage caused to track
and structures by heavy rains in southwest Western Australia and additional restoration costs related to
two derailments which occurred near Koolyanobbing, Western Australia in January 2005.
Materials expense as a percentage of revenues decreased to 4.1% in the quarter ended June 30,
2005, compared to 4.3% in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. In local currency, materials expense
decreased 8.5% in 2005 compared to 2004. The decrease was due to lower track related materials
usage.

2005, compared to 9.2% in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. In local currency, other expenses
increased 17.2% in 2005 compared to 2004. The increase was primarily
due to an increase in track and crossing work
performed for third parties.

The following information discusses the material changes in commodity groups on
existing North American freight revenues.
Coal,
coke and ores revenues increased on existing North American
operations by $1.8 million, primarily
from hauling carloads of coal for electricity generating facilities.
34
Pulp and paper revenues increased by $4.0 million on existing North American railroad
operations, of which $2.6 million was from our Canada Region due to a combination of increased
carloads, rate and fuel escalation increases and the strengthening of the Canadian dollar compared
to the U.S. dollar, $800,000 was from our Rail Link Region due to increased carloads and $600,000
was from our New York-Pennsylvania and Oregon Regions.
Lumber and forest products revenues increased by $3.4 million on existing North American
operations, of which $1.8 million was from our Oregon Region, $900,000 was from our Rail
Link Region and $700,000 was from our remaining Regions primarily due to increased carloads.
Petroleum products revenue increased by $1.0 million on existing operations, of which $700,000
was from our Mexico Region and $200,000 was from our Canada Region due to increased carloads, and $200,000
was from our New York-Pennsylvania Regions, offset by a $100,000
decrease in all remaining Regions.
Metals revenue increased by $1.3 million on existing operations, of which $700,000 was from
our New York-Pennsylvania Region due to rate and fuel escalation increases, $500,000 was from our
Canada Region and $100,000 was from a net increase in all remaining Regions.
Minerals & stone revenue increased by $1.5 million on existing operations, of which $600,000
was from our Mexico Region and $300,000 was from our Rail Link Region due to increased carloads,
and $600,000 was from a net increase in all remaining Regions.
Chemicals & Plastics revenues increased by $1.1 million on existing operations, of which
$700,000 was from our Canada Region and $400,000 was from a net
increase in all remaining Regions.
Total North American carloads were 346,429 in the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to
308,670 in the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of 37,759 carloads or 12.2%. The
increase consisted of 25,296 carloads from Rail Partners, TZPR and FCRD operations, and an increase
of 12,463 carloads, or 4.0%, from existing operations.
The overall average revenues per carload increased 6.4% to $382, in the six months ended June
30, 2005 compared to $359 per carload in the six months ended June 30, 2004 due to a combination of
rate increases, fuel escalation pass-through clauses in transportation agreements and change in the
mix of business.

Labor and benefits expense was $58.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to
$51.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $7.1 million, or 13.8%. The
increase was attributable to $2.4 million in labor and benefits expense from Rail Partners, TZPR,
FCRD and Savannah Wharf operations and an increase of $4.7 million from existing operations. The
increase from existing operations was primarily due to increased man-hours resulting from higher
freight shipments and regular wage and benefit increases. As a percentage of total revenues, labor
and benefits decreased in 2005 to 33.1% from 35.1% in 2004.
Equipment rents were $16.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $13.2
million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $2.8 million or 21.2%. The increase
was attributable to $600,000 in equipment rents from Rail Partners, TZPR, FCRD and Savannah Wharf
operations and an increase of $2.2 million from existing operations primarily due to car hire
expense from increased freight shipments. As a percentage of total revenues, equipment rents
increased in 2005 to 9.1% from 9.0% in 2004.
Purchased services were $11.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $8.8
million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $2.4 million or 27.5%. The increase
was attributable to $700,000 in purchased services from Rail Partners, TZPR, FCRD and Savannah
Wharf operations and an increase of $1.7 million from existing operations of which approximately
$1.0 million was due to terminal services in our Mexico Region. As a percentage of total revenues,
purchased services increased in 2005 to 6.3% from 6.0% in 2004.
Depreciation
and amortization expense was $10.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005
compared to $9.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of
37
$1.2 million or 12.4%.
The increase was attributable to $700,000 in depreciation and amortization from Rail Partners,
TZPR, Savannah Wharf and FCRD operations and an increase of $500,000 from existing operations. As
a percentage of total revenues, depreciation and amortization decreased in 2005 to 6.0% from 6.5%
in 2004.
Diesel fuel expense was $16.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $11.3
million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $5.5 million or 48.9%. The increase
was attributable to $600,000 from Rail Partners, TZPR, Savannah Wharf and FCRD operations and an
increase of $4.9 million on existing operations of which $4.7 million was due to a 38.3% increase
in the average price per gallon. As a percentage of total revenues, diesel fuel increased in 2005
to 9.5% from 7.7% in 2004.
Casualties
and insurance expense was $9.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared
to $7.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $1.8 million or 24.1%. The
increase was attributable to $300,000 in casualties and insurance from Rail Partners, TZPR,
Savannah Wharf and FCRD operations, and an increase of $1.5 million from existing operations
primarily due to a $500,000 increase in derailment expense and a $1.2 million increase in FELA and
third party claims, offset by a $200,000 decrease on all other casualties and insurance expense.
As a percentage of total revenues, casualties and insurance increased in 2005 to 5.2% from 5.0% in
2004.
Materials expense was $9.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $7.3 million
in the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $1.7 million or 23.4%. The increase was
attributable to $600,000 in material from Rail Partners, TZPR, Savannah Wharf and FCRD operations,
and an increase of $1.1 million on existing operations of which $700,000 was in our Canada Region
due to increased track and equipment maintenance and the strengthening of the Canadian dollar
compared to the U.S. dollar. As a percentage of total revenues, materials increased in 2005 to
5.1% from 5.0% in 2004.
All other expenses combined were $15.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to
$12.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $2.7 million or 29.0%. The
increase was attributable to $2.1 million from Rail Partners, TZPR, Savannah Wharf and FCRD
operations and an increase of $600,000 on existing operations. As a percentage of total revenues,
all other expenses increased in 2005 to 8.6% from 8.5% in 2004.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $4.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $4.7
million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $200,000, or 5.0%, primarily due to
higher outstanding debt resulting from the June 1, 2005 acquisition of Rail Partners.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other expense, net in the six months ended June 30, 2005, was $400,000 compared to other
income of $400,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2004, a
decrease of $800,000. The decrease was
primarily due to a non-cash exchange rate translation loss of $600,000 on U.S. dollar-denominated
debt held in Mexico.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate in the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 30.3% compared to
38.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease was primarily attributable to an income
tax credit enacted as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 which reduced tax expense by
approximately $3.1 million. The legislation provides for a credit against U.S. income taxes for
track maintenance expenditures incurred from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2007. The credit
is
38
equal to 50% of qualifying expenditures and is limited to $3,500 multiplied by the number of
miles of U.S. railroad track we own or lease.
Equity in Net Income of International Affiliates
Equity earnings of international affiliates, net, were $4.9 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2005, compared to $7.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $2.5
million. Equity earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2005, consisted of $4.6 million from
Australian Railroad Group and $300,000 from South American affiliates. Equity earnings in the six
months ended June 30, 2004, consisted of $7.2 million from Australian Railroad Group and $200,000
from South American affiliates. See additional information regarding ARGs financial results and
the impact of exchange rate changes in Supplemental Information Australian Railroad Group.
Net Income and Earnings Per Share
Net income in the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $22.3 million compared to net income of
$20.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $2.0 million or 9.7%. The
increase in net income was the result of an increase in North American operations of $4.5 million,
offset by a decrease in equity in net income of international affiliates of $2.5 million.
Basic Earnings Per Share increased by $0.09, or 11.0%, to $0.91 in the six months ended June
30, 2005 from $0.82 in the six months ended June 30, 2004. Diluted Earnings Per Share increased by
$0.08, or 11.1%, to $0.80 in the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $0.72 in the six months ended
June 30, 2004. Weighted average shares for basic and diluted were 24.5 million and 27.7 million,
respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 24.1 million and 27.5 million,
respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2004.
Supplemental Information Australian Railroad Group
ARG is owned 50% by us and 50% by Wesfarmers Limited, a public corporation based in Perth,
Western Australia. We account for our 50% ownership in ARG under the equity method of accounting.
As a result of the strengthening of the Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar in 2005, the
average currency translation rate for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 3.8% more favorable
than the rate for the six months ended June 30, 2004, the impact of which should be considered in
the following discussions of equity earnings, freight and non-freight operating revenues, and
operating expenses.
In the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we recorded $4.6 million and $7.2 million,
respectively, of equity earnings from ARG, which is reported in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income under the caption Equity in Net Income of International Affiliates
Australia. The following table provides ARGs freight revenues, carloads and average freight
revenues per carload for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

ARGs freight revenues were $137.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to
$138.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $1.5 million or 1.1%. In local
currency, freight revenues decreased 5.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2004.
Total ARG carloads were 475,322 in the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 495,481 in
the six months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of 20,159, or 4.1%. The net decrease of 20,159
carloads resulted primarily from decreases in grain of 36,055 car
loads due to smaller grain harvests in
Western Australia and South Australia and shipping delays associated with the export of grain, a
decrease in hook and pull (haulage traffic) of 3,068 carloads due to cessation of hay service in
South Australia in July 2004, and a decrease in gypsum of 1,688 carloads due to lower customer
volume requirements. These declines were partially offset by an increase in bauxite of 9,951
carloads and an increase in iron ore of 8,404 carloads due to increased customer production in
Western Australia. All other commodities combined increased 2,297 carloads. Average freight
revenues per carload increased from $280 to $289. In local currency, the average revenue per
carload decreased 1.4% due principally to the change in mix of business.
ARGs non-freight revenues were $33.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared
to $25.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $7.9 million or 31.1%. In
local currency, non-freight revenues increased 24.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared
to the six months ended June 30, 2004. The $7.9 million increase in non-freight revenues was
primarily attributable to an increase in diesel fuel sales to third parties, an increase in third
party track access fees and a higher level of track and crossing work for third parties. The
following table compares ARGs non-freight revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and
2004:

Labor and benefits expense as a percentage of revenues increased to 20.4% in the six months
ended June 30, 2005, compared to 17.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2004. In local currency,
labor and benefits increased 13.8% in 2005 compared to 2004. The increase was primarily due to an
increase in employee costs associated with a switch of locomotive maintenance work from external
contractors to in-house employees, an increase in employee wages in all States, and the hiring and
training of new locomotive drivers.
Purchased services decreased to 19.9% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2005,
compared to 24.0% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2004. In local currency, purchased
services decreased 17.8% in 2005 compared to 2004. The decrease was due to a switch of locomotive
maintenance work from external contractors to in-house employees, a decrease in the average number
of contract drivers by 39 individuals compared with 2004, and a reduction in grain transfer costs.
41
Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenues, increased to 9.3% in the
six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 8.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2004. In local
currency, depreciation and amortization increased 16.3% in 2005 compared to 2004. The increase was
due to higher depreciation related to an increase in capital expenditures.
Diesel fuel used in operations increased to 9.0% of revenues in the six months ended June 30,
2005, compared to 7.3% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2004. In local currency, the
cost of fuel used in operations increased 21.6% in 2005 compared to 2004 due to a 32.9% increase in
fuel prices partially offset by a 7.7% reduction in fuel consumed due to lower freight traffic.
Diesel fuel sold to third parties increased to 6.9% of revenues in the six months ended June
30, 2005, compared to 5.0% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2004. In local currency,
the cost of diesel fuel sold to third parties increased 37.3% in 2005 compared to 2004. The
increase was due to an increase in the volume of fuel sales to third parties and an increase in
fuel prices.
Casualties and insurance increased to 4.0% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2005,
compared to 2.9% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2004. In local currency, casualties
and insurance increased 38.1% in 2005 compared to 2004. The increase was due to two major
derailments in Western Australia near Kalgoorlie and flood damage to
track and structures in southwest Western Australia.
Materials expense as a percentage of revenues was unchanged at 4.2% in the six months ended
June 30, 2005 and 2004. In local currency, materials expense decreased 0.6% in 2005 compared to
2004.
Other expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 9.5% in the six months ended June 30,
2005, compared to 8.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2004. In local currency, other expenses
increased 6.0% in 2005 compared to 2004. The increase was due to a higher level of track and
crossing work for third parties.
North American Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we generated cash from operations of $39.4 million,
paid $238.2 million, net of $4.9 million in cash received, for the acquisition of Rail
Partners, invested $11.5 million in capital assets (net of $3.2 million in state grants for track
rehabilitation and construction), received $600,000 in cash from unconsolidated affiliates and
received $1.5 million in proceeds from employee stock purchases. We paid $1.6 million in debt
issuance costs, and had a net increase in debt of $213.7 million during this same period primarily
from borrowings of $243.0 million to fund the acquisition of Rail Partners, offset by using cash
provided by operations of $29.3 million to reduce debt.
During the six months ended June 30, 2004 the Company generated cash flow from operating
activities of $30.7 million, invested $11.6 million in capital assets (net of $1.6 million in state
grant funds received for track rehabilitation and construction) and received $1.9 million in
proceeds from employee stock purchases. The Company paid $400,000 of dividends on the Companys
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and reduced its debt by $23.1 million during this same
period primarily by using cash provided by operations.
We have budgeted approximately $29.5 million in capital expenditures in 2005, of which $23.7
million is for track rehabilitation, including the completion of the Homer City Branch, and $5.8
million is for equipment.
At June 30, 2005 we had long-term debt, including current portion, totaling $346.6 million,
which comprised 48.7% of our total capitalization. At December 31, 2004 we
42
had long-term debt, including current portion, totaling $132.2 million, which comprised 27.9% of
our total capitalization.
We have historically relied primarily on cash generated from operations to fund working
capital and capital expenditures relating to ongoing operations, while relying on borrowed funds
and stock issuances to finance acquisitions and investments in unconsolidated affiliates. We
believe that our cash flow from operations, together with amounts available under the credit
facilities, will enable us to meet our liquidity and capital expenditure requirements relating to
ongoing operations for at least the duration of the credit facilities.
U.S. Credit Facilities and Private Placement Debt
On July 26, 2005, we completed a private placement of $100.0 million 10-Year senior notes and
$25.0 million floating rate 7-Year senior notes. The senior notes are unsecured but are guaranteed
by substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries. The $100.0 million senior notes bear interest at
5.36%, and the $25.0 million floating rate notes have a borrowing rate of LIBOR plus 0.70% and had
an interest rate of 4.35% as of the July 26, 2005 closing date. We used the proceeds of the senior
notes to repay the $125.0 million 10-Year Floating Rate Notes issued in connection with the
acquisition of Rail Partners.
On June 1, 2005, in conjunction with the acquisition of Rail Partners, we expanded the size of
our senior revolving credit facility from $150.0 million to $225.0 million and completed a private
placement of $125.0 million 10-Year Senior Floating Rate Notes. The acquisition was funded through
a $118.0 million draw under the senior revolving credit facility at an initial borrowing rate of
LIBOR plus 1.375% and the $125.0 million of Senior Notes at an initial borrowing rate of LIBOR plus
0.85%.
As of June 30, 2005, our $225.0 million revolving loan, which matures in 2010, consisted of
$95.5 million of outstanding debt, a letter of credit guarantee of $75,000 and $128.8 million of
unused borrowing capacity. See Note 9 of our Form 10-K for the year ended 2004 for additional
information regarding our credit facilities.
Mexican Financings
On April 1, 2005, we and our Mexican subsidiaries, GW Servicios S.A. (Servicios) and
Compania de Ferrocarriles Chiapas-Mayab, S.A. de C.V. (FCCM) amended loan agreements and related
documents with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Nederlandse
Financierings-Maatschappij voor Ontwikkelingslanden N.V. (FMO) to revise certain terms of
Servicios existing loans from IFC and FMO as well as our existing support obligations related to
such loans, effective March 15, 2005.
Under the amended terms, principal payments under Servicios six promissory notes payable
(Notes) were reduced and maturity dates were extended by
three years. In addition, amounts held in
escrow for the benefit of IFC and FMO (approximately $574,000) were released to prepay a portion of
the loans. As of June 30, 2005, the aggregate amount outstanding on the Notes totaled $17.0
million, with variable interest rates based on LIBOR plus 3.5 percentage points for the original
term of the debt through 2007 with an increase to LIBOR plus 4.0 percentage points for the extended
term of the debt. Two of the Notes, aggregating to $10.2 million, have a six year remaining term
with combined semi-annual principal payments of $784,000 which began March 15, 2005, and continue
through the maturity date of September 15, 2011. The third Note, in the amount of $6.8 million,
has a seven year remaining term with semi-annual principal payments of $455,000 which began March
15, 2005, and continues through the maturity date of September 15, 2012.
The Notes contain certain financial and other covenants applicable only to FCCM and Servicios,
including mandatory debt prepayments from excess free cash flow (as
43
defined in the agreements) and restrictions on utilization of funds for capital expenditures,
incurrence of debt, guarantees of obligations, sale of assets, lease of assets, creation of certain
liens, payment of dividends and making distributions, transactions among FCCM and Servicios and
other affiliates of GWI, entering into certain mergers, and revising or terminating FCCMs rail
concession with the government of Mexico. The Notes will continue to be secured by essentially all
the assets of Servicios and FCCM, and a pledge of the Servicios and FCCM shares held by us.
Under the original loan agreements for $27.5 million of debt, we were obligated to provide up
to $8.0 million of funding to our Mexican subsidiaries, if necessary, to meet their investment or
financial obligations prior to completing the investment phase of the project funded by the Notes.
The investment phase consisted of achieving several obligations related to capital investments,
operating performance and management systems and controls. Thereafter, we were obligated to
provide up to $7.5 million in funding to Servicios to meet its debt service obligations prior to
completing the financial phase of the project, which consisted of achieving several financial
performance thresholds. Prior to the amendment, we had advanced $2.5 million of our $8.0 million
obligation and the project was still in the investment phase. The amended agreements eliminate our
obligations to provide additional funding under those terms and instead obligate us to provide up
to $8.9 million to Servicios (in addition to the $2.5 million previously advanced), if necessary,
for Servicios to meet its debt payment obligations. To the extent that FCCMs annual capital
expenditures exceed 60% of FCCMs consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, as defined in the amended agreements as determined on an annual basis, we are
obligated to provide additional funds to FCCM equal to the amount of such excess.
In conjunction with the original financing, IFC invested $1.9 million of equity in Servicios
for a 12.7% indirect interest in FCCM. Along with its equity investment, IFC received a put option

put option from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2012.
Mexican Fuel Tax Credits
In 2002 FCCM could apply diesel fuel tax credits it generated to income taxes, payroll taxes,
asset taxes and value added taxes, and it utilized approximately $3.3 million in such fuel tax
credits. Effective January 2003, a ruling issued by the tax authorities limited the application of
diesel fuel tax credits to income and asset tax related obligations only, excluding payroll taxes
and value added taxes. Effective January 2005, as a result of new tax legislation, FCCM is again
permitted to apply diesel fuel tax credits it generates to all of its federal tax obligations,
including income taxes, asset taxes, payroll taxes and value added taxes. While the new
legislation is a favorable development, under the fuel tax formula at current high diesel fuel
prices, FCCM is paying little or no fuel taxes and therefore is not generating any significant
diesel fuel tax credits. FCCM has utilized all the fuel tax credits it generated in 2004 and the
small amount of fuel tax credits it has generated in 2005.

Free Cash Flow Description and Discussion We view Free Cash Flow as an important financial
measure of how well we are managing our assets. Subject to the limitations discussed below, Free
Cash Flow is a useful indicator of cash flow that may be available for use by us. Free Cash Flow
is defined as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities less Net Cash Used in Investing Activities,
excluding the Cost of Acquisitions. Key limitations of the Free Cash Flow measure include the
assumptions that we will be able to refinance our existing debt when it matures, and meet other
cash flow obligations from financing activities, such as required amortization of debt. Free Cash
Flow is not intended to represent, and should not
44
be considered more meaningful than, or as an alternative to, measures of cash flow determined in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

ARGs Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less net cash
used in investing activities. The prior discussion concerning the usefulness and limitations
associated with our Free Cash Flow also apply to the discussion of ARGs Free Cash Flow. In
addition, we have no access or right to any of ARGs Free Cash Flow other than as a shareholder,
and any dividend or distribution of cash by ARG must be approved by ARGs board of directors, which
is equally divided between us and our 50/50 partner, Wesfarmers. The following table sets forth a

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
During 2004, 2003 and 2002, we entered into various interest rate swaps fixing our base
interest rate by exchanging our variable LIBOR interest rates on long-term debt for a fixed
interest rate. Several interest rate swaps were terminated in November 2004 in conjunction with
the debt refinancing. The remaining swaps expire at various dates through September 2007, and the
fixed base rates range from 4.5% to 5.46%. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the notional
amount under these agreements was $30.2 million and $32.8 million, respectively, and the fair value
of these interest rate swaps was negative $995,000 and negative $1.1 million, respectively.
During 2005 and 2004, we entered into various exchange rate options that establish exchange
rates for converting Mexican Pesos to U.S. Dollars. One of the options expired in March 2005. The
remaining options, which expire September 2005 and March 2006, respectively, gives us the right to
sell Mexican Pesos for U.S. Dollars at exchange rates of 12.68 and 13.64 Mexican Pesos to the U.S.
Dollar, respectively. We paid up-front premiums of $20,000 for the options in the quarter ended
March 31, 2005. At June 30, 2005, the notional amount under exchange rate options was $3.6 million
and the fair value was approximately $0.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to
allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter
46
how well designed
and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of June 30, 2005. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures provided reasonable assurance that the disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to accomplish their objectives.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Legal Proceedings On March 31, 2004, Messrs. Chambers and Wheeler filed a complaint against
Genesee & Wyoming Inc. in the Chancery Court of Delaware. The complaint relates to the sale by the
plaintiffs in April 1999 to us of their ownership interests in certain of our Canadian operations.
Under the terms of the purchase agreement, among other things, the plaintiffs were granted options
to purchase up to 270,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.56 per
share if certain of our Canadian operations had achieved certain financial performance targets in
any annual period between 1999 and 2003. The complaint alleges that these financial performance
targets have been met, and the plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment
that the options granted under the purchase agreement have vested and are exercisable. We believe the claim is without merit, and we intend to vigorously defend this lawsuit. On January
5, 2005 the plaintiffs filed a motion for summary judgment. On March 15, 2005, we filed our own
motion for summary judgment. The Delaware Chancery Court held oral arguments on the cross motions
on May 24, 2005. Following the argument, the Court ordered additional discovery and briefing,
which has been completed. We are currently awaiting the Courts decision on the summary judgment
motions.
In addition, from time to time we are a defendant in certain lawsuits resulting from our
operations. Management believes that we have adequate provisions in the financial statements for
any expected liabilities which may result from disposition of such lawsuits. While it is possible
that some of the foregoing matters may be resolved at a cost greater than that provided for, it is
the opinion of management that the ultimate liability, if any, will not be material to our operating results, financial position or liquidity.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
There were no unregistered sales of equity securities for the period covered by this Form
10-Q.
47
ITEM 2(c). ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
On November 2, 2004, we announced that our Board had authorized the repurchase of up to
1,000,000 shares of our common stock. We intend to use the repurchased stock to offset dilution
caused by the issuance of shares in connection with employee and director stock plans that may
occur over time. Purchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions
from time to time at managements discretion. As of June 30, 2005, 11,500 shares of our common
stock had been repurchased under this plan. The additional 4,177 shares of our common stock
acquired by us result from employees using owned shares of our stock to cover the price of stock
options they exercised during the period.
