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 March 31, 2005, all net assets are covered by the
         lease.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS



         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
first quarter of 2005 with the preceding fourth quarter of 2004 and the first
quarter of 2004, revenues totaled $229,000, $229,000 and $229,000,
respectively. Net income and income available for distribution was $164,000,
$211,000 and $194,000, 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
                      PITTSBURGH & WEST VIRGINIA RAILROAD

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.
