Operations and Segmentation [Abstract]  
Operations and Segmentation 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 2019 freight revenues have been realigned to the new reporting format.


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

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 $389 million and $603 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, and June 30, 2019, and $972 million and $1,179 million, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and June 30, 2019
