                          ARTICLE I
  
                    STOCKHOLDERS MEETINGS
  
         SECTION 1.  Meetings, annual or special, of the stockholders of 
  this Company may be held at such place or places as shall be ordered by 
  the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee.
  
         SECTION 2.  Annual meetings of the stockholders, for the purpose of
  electing directors and transacting any other business, shall be held at
  such time as shall be ordered by the Board of Directors or the Executive
  Committee, but, unless otherwise ordered, shall be held at 11:00 a.m. on
  the third Friday of April in each year.
  
         SECTION 3.  A special meeting of the stockholders may be called by 
  the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee or by any other person who, 
  at such time, is authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of
  Delaware (the "GCL") to call a special meeting of stockholders. The
  objects of a special meeting shall be stated in the order therefor, and
  the business transacted shall be confined to such objects.
  
         SECTION 4.  Notice of all meetings of the stockholders shall be given,
  either personally or by mail, not less than ten nor more than sixty days
  prior thereto.  If given by mail, the notice shall be sent by United
  States mail, postage prepaid, directed to each stockholder at his address
  as it appears on the records of the Company.  The notice of all special
  meetings shall state the objects thereof.  The failure to give notice of
  an annual meeting, or any irregularity in the notice, shall not affect the
  validity of such annual meeting or of any proceedings thereat.  Any
  stockholder may consent in writing to the holding of a special meeting
  without notice.
  
         SECTION 5.  The Board of Directors or the Executive Committee may fix
  in advance a day and hour, which shall not precede the date upon which the
  resolution fixing such day and hour is adopted by the Board of Directors
  or the Executive Committee and which shall be not more than sixty nor less
  than ten days preceding any annual or special meeting of stockholders or,
  in the case of action of stockholders without a meeting, more than ten
  days after the date upon which the resolution fixing such day and hour is
  adopted by the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee, as the time
  for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting or
  to take such action.  Stockholders of record at the time so fixed by the
  Board of Directors or the Executive Committee and only such stockholders
  shall be entitled to vote at such meeting. Each share of stock shall
  entitle such record holder thereof to one vote, in person or by proxy in
  writing.
  
         SECTION 6.  The Chairman of the Board, and in his absence the Chairman
  of the Executive Committee, and in their absence the President or one of
  the Vice Presidents, shall call meetings of the stockholders to order and
  act as chairman of such meetings.  In the absence of all of these
  officers, the Board of Directors may appoint a chairman of the meeting to
  act in such event; but if the Board shall not make such appointment, then,
  in the absence of all of these officers, any stockholder or proxy of any
  stockholder may call the meeting to order, and a chairman shall be
  elected.
  
         SECTION 7.  The Secretary of the Company shall act as secretary at all
  meetings of the stockholders; but the Board of Directors or the Executive
  Committee may designate an Assistant Secretary for that purpose before the
  meeting, and if no such designation shall have been made, then the
  presiding officer at the meeting may appoint any person to act as
  secretary of the meeting.
  
  
         SECTION 8.  Stockholders may take action on a matter at a meeting only
  if a quorum exists with respect to that matter.  Unless the certificate of
  incorporation or the GCL provide otherwise, a majority of the shares
  entitled to vote on the matter, represented in person or by proxy,
  constitutes a quorum for action on that matter.  If a quorum exists,
  action on a matter, other than the election of directors, by stockholders
  is approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast
  opposing the action, unless the certificate of incorporation or the GCL
  require a greater number of affirmative votes.  Directors are elected by
  a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the
  election, represented in person or by proxy, at a meeting at which a
  quorum is present.

         SECTION 1.  All corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the
  authority of, and the business and affairs of the Company shall be managed
  under the direction of, the Board of Directors, which shall consist of
  fourteen members.  Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting
  from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by
  a vote of the Board and, if the directors remaining in office consist of
  fewer than a quorum of the Board, a majority of directors then in office,
  though less than a quorum, may fill the vacancy.  A director elected to
  fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his predecessor
  in office.  Any director appointed by the Board of Directors to fill a
  directorship caused by an increase in the number of directors shall serve
  until the next annual meeting or a special meeting of the stockholders
  called for the purpose of electing directors.
  
         SECTION 2.  Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held 
  at such times as the Board shall from time to time designate, and no further
  notice of such regular meetings shall be required.  Special meetings shall
  be held whenever called by order of the Chairman of the Board, the
  Chairman of the Executive Committee, or the Executive Committee or any
  five members of the Board.  Notice of special meetings shall be given, at
  least one day prior thereto, by personal service of written notice upon
  the directors or by delivering the same at, or transmitting the same by
  first class mail, facsimile transmission, telephone or other electronic
  means to, their respective residences or offices.  Any director may
  consent in writing to the holding of a special meeting without notice, and
  the attendance or participation of any director at a special meeting shall
  constitute a waiver by him of call and notice thereof and a consent to the
  holding of said meeting and the transaction of any corporate business
  thereat, unless the director at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly
  upon the director's arrival, objects to holding the meeting or transacting
  business thereat because of lack of notice or defective notice, and does
  not thereafter vote for or assent to the action taken at the meeting. 
  Meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at such place or places as
  shall be ordered by the Executive Committee or by a majority of the
  directors in office, but, unless otherwise ordered, all meetings of the
  Board of Directors shall be held at the principal executive offices of the
  Company in Dallas, Texas.
  
         SECTION 3.  A majority of the number of directors prescribed by 
  Article II, Section 1 shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the 
  Board.  If a quorum be not present at any meeting, a majority of the 
  directors present may adjourn the meeting until a later day or hour.

                            EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
  
         SECTION 1.  There shall be an Executive Committee consisting of such
  number of directors as shall be elected thereto by the vote of the
  majority of the directors then in office, whose terms of office shall
  continue during the pleasure of the Board.  Except to the extent otherwise
  provided in the GCL, the Executive Committee shall, when the Board of
  Directors is not in session, have all the powers of the Board of Directors
  to manage and direct all the business and affairs of the Company in all
  cases in which specific directions shall not have been given by the Board
  of Directors.
  
         SECTION 2.  Meetings of the Executive Committee may be called at any
  time by the Chairman of the Board, the Chairman of the Executive
  Committee, or a majority of the members of the Executive Committee, to
  convene at such time and place as may be designated.  The rules regarding
  notice of meetings of the Board set forth in Section 2 of Article II of
  these By-Laws shall apply to meetings of the Executive Committee.
  
         SECTION 3.  A majority of the members of the Executive Committee shall
  constitute a quorum.  If a quorum be not present at any meeting, the
  member or members of the Committee present may adjourn the meeting until
  a later day or hour.

                                ARTICLE VII
                              INDEMNIFICATION
  
         SECTION 1.  The Company shall indemnify to the full extent permitted 
  by law any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
  to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding,
  whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the
  fact that (i) such person is or was a director or officer of the Company
  or (ii) while a director or officer of the Company, such person is or was
  serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another
  corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.  The
  indemnification provided in this Section 1 of this Article VII shall
  include the right to receive payment in advance of the final disposition
  of any such action, suit or proceeding of any expenses (including
  attorneys' fees) incurred by any such person in defending such action,
  suit or proceeding, consistent with the provisions of then applicable law. 
  For purposes of this Article VII, the term "other enterprise" shall
  include any employee benefit plan; and "serving at the request of the
  Company" shall include any service as a director or officer of the Company
  which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer
  with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or
  beneficiaries; and any action by a person with respect to an employee
  benefit plan taken in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably
  believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of
  such plan shall be deemed to be action not opposed to the best interests
  of the Company.  This Section 1 of this Article VII shall not apply to any
  action, suit or proceeding pending or threatened on the date of adoption
  hereof provided that the right of the Company to indemnify any person with
  respect thereto shall not be limited hereby. 
  
         SECTION 2.  Any indemnification under Section 1 of this Article VII
  (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as au-
  thorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of
  the present or former director or officer is proper in the circumstances
  because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct required by
  law.  Such determination shall be made by the persons authorized by the
  GCL.
  
         SECTION 3.  Notwithstanding Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VII,
  except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company
  shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer in connection
  with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such
  proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board
  of Directors.  The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by
  Section 1 of this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
  rights to which any person seeking indemnification may be entitled under
  any law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
  otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to
  action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue
  as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure
  to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a
  person.  Any amendment or repeal of Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article
  VII or this Section 3 shall not limit the right of any person to indemnity
  with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken by such person prior
  to such amendment or repeal.                         
    
    
                               ARTICLE VIII

  ordered by the Board of Directors, shall be, an impression upon paper or 
  wax, circular in form, with the words "Union Pacific Railroad Company" and
  "Delaware" on the outer edge thereof.
  
         SECTION 2.  Except as otherwise proved by the GCL, these By-Laws may 
  be altered, amended or repealed at a meeting of the stockholders by a
  majority vote of those present in person or by proxy or at any meeting of
  the Board of Directors by a majority vote of the directors then in office.
