SCHEDULE 13G                                      Page 5 of 6 Pages

Item 4     Ownership.

           The Trust Company serves as trustee of the Consolidated
           Freightways Thrift and Stock Ownership Trust, which owns
           447,938 shares of Series B Cumulative convertible
           preferred stock ("Preferred") that are the subject of
           this filing on Schedule 13G.

           Each share of Preferred is convertible into 4.708 shares
           of Common.  Accordingly, upon conversion, the 447,938
           shares of Preferred would be equivalent to 2,108,892
           shares of Common. Both the Trust Company and Price
           Associates may be deemed to have shared power to direct
           the disposition of 2,108,892 shares of common,
           representing 4.1% of the outstanding shares.

           The Preferred is entitled to vote together with the
           Common as one class.  Each share of Preferred is
           entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of
           shares of Common into which the Preferred could be
           converted, multiplied by l.3.  Accordingly, the 447,938
           shares of Preferred have voting rights equivalent to
           2,741,559 shares of Common.  Both the Trust Company and
           Price Associates may be deemed to have shared power to
           direct the vote with respect to 2,741,559 shares of
           Common, representing 5.2% of the outstanding shares.

Item 5     Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

  X        Not Applicable.

           This statement is being filed to report the fact that,
as of the date of this report, the reporting person(s)      has
(have) ceased to be the beneficial owner of more  than five percent
of the class of securities.

Item 6     Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another
           Person.

           Pursuant to the terms of the plan documents, certain
           rights and powers are delegated to the Trust Company and
           certain actions are taken at the direction of the
           Pension and Employee Benefits Committee of Consolidated
           Freightways, Inc.  In addition, plan participants have
           the right to direct the Trust Company with respect to
           voting the stock and participating in tender offers.

           Dividends, income and sale proceeds are employed by the
           Trust Company in accordance with the terms of the plan
           documents for the exclusive benefit of the participants
           and beneficiaries of the plan.  First National Bank of
