Operations and Segmentation [Abstract]

3. Operations and Segmentation

The Railroad, along with its subsidiaries and rail affiliates, is our one reportable operating segment. Although we provide and analyze revenue by three commodity groups, we treat the financial results of the Railroad as one segment due to the integrated nature of our rail network. Our operating revenues are primarily derived from contracts with customers for the transportation of freight from origin to destination. Prior to 2020, we reported on four commodity groups, thus 2020 freight revenues have been realigned to the new reporting format.

‎

The following table represents a disaggregation of our freight and other revenues:



Millions,
for the Three Months Ended March 31,	2020		2019
Bulk	$	1,534	$	1,620
Industrial		1,894		1,839
Premium		1,452		1,551
Total freight revenues	$	4,880	$	5,010
Other subsidiary revenues		214		223
Accessorial revenues		117		133
Other		18		18
Total operating revenues	$	5,229	$	5,384

Although our revenues are principally derived from customers domiciled in the U.S., the ultimate points of origin or destination for some products we transport are outside the U.S. Each of our commodity groups includes revenue from shipments to and from Mexico. Included in the above table are freight revenues from our Mexico business which amounted to $583 million and $576 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and March 31, 2019.
