                                   FORM 10-Q

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.

(3)	Under the terms of the lease, Norfolk Southern Corporation has
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 year for the current lease period and all renewal
periods.  The net investment in capital lease, recognizing renewal options in
perpetuity, was estimated to have a current value of $9,150,000 assuming an
implicit interest rate of 10%.

(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, 2009,
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
Southern Corporation for the fixed, unvarying amount of $915,000 cash
rental per year.  The lease also requires that additional amounts be accounted
for as noncash rent income to be settled or paid at lease termination.
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 2009 with the preceding first quarter of 2009 and the second
quarter of 2008, revenues totaled $229,000, $229,000, and $229,000,
respectively.  Net income and income available for distribution was $179,000,
$152,000, and $185,000, respectively.


Since cash revenue is fixed in amount and outlays for general and
administrative expenses are relatively modest, inflation has had no material
impact on Registrant's reported net income for the past three years.  Although
recent inflationary trends have been moderate, annual rental income is
a fixed amount for the current lease term and any renewal periods, and
inflation could affect the real dollar value of the rental income over time.
Changes in inflationary trends could also affect the general and
administration expenses.

Item 4T.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective
disclosure controls and procedures.  As of the end of the period covered
by this report, the Registrant carried out an evaluation under the
supervision and with the 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-15 under the Securities and 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 to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in the Registrant's required SEC
filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms.

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

We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting that
is designed to provide reasonable assurance that our books and records
accurately reflect the transactions of the Registrant and that our
policies and procedures are followed.  There have been no changes in
our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter
that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially
affect such controls.
