a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim
periods presented.
(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.
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 2004 with the preceding fourth quarter of
2003 and the first quarter of 2003, revenues totaled $229,000, $229,000
and $229,000, respectively. Net income and income available for
distribution was $194,000, $204,000 and $206,000, 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
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

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (Continued)
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.
