                             THE PITTSTON COMPANY

     This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is filed with respect to an aggregate
of 455,000 shares of Pittston BAX Group Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share,
including associated rights ("BAX Stock"), 350,000 shares of Pittston Minerals
Group Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, including associated rights
("Minerals Stock"), and 249,179 shares of Pittston Brink's Group Common Stock,
par value $1.00 per share, including associated rights ("Common Stock").

     The purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment is to deregister 455,000
shares of BAX Stock and 350,000 shares of Minerals Stock and to register 249,179
additional shares of Common Stock.  This Registration Statement as originally
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on May 17,
1999 (Registration No. 333-78633) related to the offering of (i) 750,000
additional shares of Common Stock, (ii) 375,000 additional shares of BAX stock
and (iii) 250,000 additional shares of Minerals Stock issuable pursuant to The
Savings-Investment Plan of the Pittston Company and Its Subsidiaries (the
"Savings-Investment Plan"). The Pittston Company (the "Company") initially
registered the issuance of 60,000 shares of Common Stock, 100,000 shares of
Minerals Stock and 80,000 shares of Pittston Burlington Group Common Stock
("Burlington Stock"), in connection with the Savings-Investment Plan on its
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-02219) as filed with
the Commission on April 3, 1996.  Effective May 4, 1998, the designation
Pittston Burlington Group Common Stock and Pittston Burlington Group were
changed to Pittston BAX Group Common Stock and Pittston BAX Group, respectively.
The contents of Registration Statements No. 333-02219 and No. 333-78633 are
incorporated by reference herein.

     On January 14, 2000, the Company completed an exchange of BAX Stock and
Minerals Stock into Common Stock, at exchange ratios of .4848 share of Common
Stock for each share of BAX Stock and .0817 share of Common Stock for each share
of Minerals Stock (the "Exchange").  The remaining class, Common Stock, now
constitutes the Company's only class of common stock and continues to trade on
the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "PZB." Accordingly,  this
consolidated Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 reflects the reclassification of the
(i) 455,000 shares of BAX Stock and (ii) 350,000 shares of Minerals Stock
previously registered under the Registration Statements referred to above and
registers the additional 249,179 shares of Common Stock resulting from the
Exchange of those shares.

THE PITTSTON COMPANY

     This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is filed with respect to an aggregate
of 455,000 shares of Pittston BAX Group Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share,
including associated rights ("BAX Stock"), 350,000 shares of Pittston Minerals
Group Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, including associated rights
("Minerals Stock"), and 249,179 shares of Pittston Brink's Group Common Stock,
par value $1.00 per share, including associated rights ("Common Stock").

     The purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment is to deregister 455,000
shares of BAX Stock and 350,000 shares of Minerals Stock and to register 249,179
additional shares of Common Stock.  This Registration Statement as originally
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on May 17,
1999 (Registration No. 333-78633) related to the offering of (i) 750,000
additional shares of Common Stock, (ii) 375,000 additional shares of BAX stock
and (iii) 250,000 additional shares of Minerals Stock issuable pursuant to The
Savings-Investment Plan of the Pittston Company and Its Subsidiaries (the
"Savings-Investment Plan"). The Pittston Company (the "Company") initially
registered the issuance of 60,000 shares of Common Stock, 100,000 shares of
Minerals Stock and 80,000 shares of Pittston Burlington Group Common Stock
("Burlington Stock"), in connection with the Savings-Investment Plan on its
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-02219) as filed with
the Commission on April 3, 1996.  Effective May 4, 1998, the designation
Pittston Burlington Group Common Stock and Pittston Burlington Group were
changed to Pittston BAX Group Common Stock and Pittston BAX Group, respectively.
The contents of Registration Statements No. 333-02219 and No. 333-78633 are
incorporated by reference herein.

     On January 14, 2000, the Company completed an exchange of BAX Stock and
Minerals Stock into Common Stock, at exchange ratios of .4848 share of Common
Stock for each share of BAX Stock and .0817 share of Common Stock for each share
of Minerals Stock (the "Exchange").  The remaining class, Common Stock, now
constitutes the Company's only class of common stock and continues to trade on
the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "PZB." Accordingly,  this
consolidated Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 reflects the reclassification of the
(i) 455,000 shares of BAX Stock and (ii) 350,000 shares of Minerals Stock
previously registered under the Registration Statements referred to above and
registers the additional 249,179 shares of Common Stock resulting from the
Exchange of those shares.
