Genesee & Wyoming Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2003

July 29, 2003

Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (GWI) (NYSE: GWR) reported today that net income in the second quarter of 2003 was $7.7 million compared with net income of $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2002. GWI's diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2003 increased 2.1% to $0.43 with 17.8 million shares outstanding compared with diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2002 of $0.42 with 17.6 million shares outstanding.

In the second quarter of 2003, GWI's North American revenue increased 20.9% to $62.9 million compared with $52.1 million in the second quarter of 2002. Of this $10.9 million increase in revenue, $5.5 million was from the acquisition of Utah Railway and $1.0 million was from the start-up of a new rail line in Oregon. Same railroad revenue in the second quarter of 2003 increased $4.4 million, or 8.3%, of which approximately $1.0 million was due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar.

North American operating income increased 29.9% to $10.9 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared with $8.4 million in the second quarter of 2002. GWI's North American operating ratio improved to 82.7% in the second quarter of 2003 compared with 83.9% in the second quarter of 2002.

In Australia, second quarter 2003 revenue for GWI's 50%-owned subsidiary, Australian Railroad Group (ARG), increased 8.1% to US$59.9 million compared with US$55.4 million in the second quarter of 2002. In comparing the second quarter of 2003 with the second quarter of 2002, it is notable that the Australian dollar appreciated 16.1%.

ARG's operating income in the second quarter of 2003 was US$13.3 million compared with operating income of US$14.3 million in the second quarter of 2002. ARG's operating ratio in the second quarter of 2003 was 77.7%, compared with 74.1% in the second quarter of 2002.

Equity income from ARG in the second quarter of 2003 was US$2.1 million compared with US$2.7 million in the second quarter of 2002. Equity income from GWI's 22.9% indirect ownership of a Bolivian railroad, Empresa Ferroviaria Oriental, S.A., was US$0.2 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared with US$0.3 million in the second quarter of 2002.

Mortimer B. Fuller III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GWI, commented, "Our second quarter results were as expected. In North America, our coal shipments in Illinois were strong despite maintenance work at a major customer, our Utah acquisition continues to perform well, and traffic levels in Mexico were much improved. In Australia, our management team is performing well in a difficult year for grain shipments and ARG's safety record has improved significantly."
