     The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial
     statements.

Notes to financial statements:
    (1) The foregoing interim financial statements are unaudited but,  in the
        opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a
        fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods
        presented. All adjustments are of a  normal recurring nature.

    (2) Registrant has elected to be treated for tax purposes as
        a real estate investment trust. As such, the Trust is
        exempt from paying federal corporate income tax on any income that
        is distributed to shareholders. It has been Registrant's
        policy to distribute annually all of its ordinary taxable
        income. Consequently, no provision has been made for federal
        income  tax.

Notes to financial statements:(Continued)

    (3) Under the terms of the lease, Norfolk Southern Corporation
        leased all of Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railroad's real
        properties, including its railroad lines, for a term of 99
        years, renewable by the lessee upon the same terms for
        additional 99-year terms in perpetuity. The lease provides for
        a cash rental of $915,000 per annum. The rentals receivable,
        recognizing renewal options to perpetuity, were estimated to
        have a present value of $9,150,000 assuming an implicit
        interest rate of 10% at January 1, 1983.

    (4) Under the provisions of the lease, the Trust may not issue, without
        the prior written consent of Norfolk Southern, any shares or options
        to purchase shares or declare any dividends on its shares of beneficial
        interest in an amount exceeding the     value of the assets not covered
        by the lease plus the annual cash rent of $ 915,000 to be received
        under the lease, less any expenses incurred for the benefit of
        shareholders. At June 30, 2005, all net assets are covered by the
        lease. The Trust may not borrow any money or assume any guarantees
        except with the prior written consent of Norfolk Southern.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          All of Registrant's railroad properties are on long-term lease to
        Norfolk and Western Railway Company for the fixed, unvarying amount of
        $915,000 cash rental per year. The lease also requires that additional,
        large amounts be recorded as non-cash rent income. Because this noncash
        income will not be settled until the expiration of the lease, no values
        have been reported in the accompanying interim financial statements for
        the balance of the account or the transactions affecting the balance.

          With fixed revenue and expenses relatively constant, there is very
        little fluctuation in operating results between periods. In comparing
        the second quarter of 2005 with the preceding first quarter of 2005 and
        the second quarter of 2004, revenues totaled $229,000, $229,000 and
        $229,000, respectively. Net income and income available for
        distribution was $202,000, $164,000 and $187,000, respectively.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

    Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Registrant carried
out an evaluation under the supervision and with the
                                        5
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (Continued)


participation of the Registrant's management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that the Registrant's disclosure controls and
procedures are adequate and effective in timely alerting them to material
information relating to the Registrant required to be included in the
Registrant's periodic filings with the SEC.

    There have been no significant changes in the Registrant's internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls
subsequent to the date the Registrant carried out its evaluation.
