EXPLANATION OF RESPONSES:

(1) In connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 15,
2001, by and among Motor Cargo Industries, Inc., Union Pacific Corporation
and Motor Merger Co., Union Pacific entered into a Shareholder Agreement,
dated as of October 15, 2001, with each of Messrs. Harold R. Tate and
Marvin L. Friedland (together, the "Shareholders"). Collectively, the
Shareholders are the beneficial owners of 4,064,153 shares of common stock,
no par value, of Motor Cargo (the "Subject Shares"). As described in more
detail in the Schedule 13D filed on October 24, 2001 by Union Pacific with
the Securities and Exchange Commission subject to the exception set forth
in paragraph (2) below, the Shareholders have, among other things, agreed
to (a) tender the Subject Shares in connection with the planned offer by
Union Pacific to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Motor Cargo
in exchange for cash consideration or common stock of Union Pacific, (b)
elect to receive Union Pacific Stock and (c) vote the Subject Shares in the
manner set forth therein with respect to certain matters that pertain to
the Agreement and Plan of Merger.

(2) Mr. Friedland's Shareholder Agreement provides that he is not required
to take any action or make any election which conflicts with his existing
contractual obligations imposed by margin accounts he maintains with
respect to his 188,153 Subject Shares, and, therefore, he may elect to
receive either cash or common stock of Union Pacific.

(3) Union Pacific disclaims beneficial ownership of the Subject Shares.
Union Pacific does not have, nor does it share, the opportunity, directly
or indirectly, to profit or share in any profit derived from a transaction
involving the Subject Shares. Neither the filing of this Form 3 nor any of
its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by Union Pacific
that it is the beneficial owner of any of the common stock referred to
herein for purposes of Rule 13 (d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is
expressly disclaimed.
