Nature of Operations [Text Block] | 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 commodity group, 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. The following table represents a disaggregation of our freight and other revenues:
Millions, for the Three Months Ended March 31, |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Bulk |  | $ | 1,832 |  |  | $ | 1,512 |
Industrial |  |  | 1,921 |  |  |  | 1,656 |
Premium |  |  | 1,687 |  |  |  | 1,481 |
Total freight revenues |  | $ | 5,440 |  |  | $ | 4,649 |
Other subsidiary revenues |  |  | 205 |  |  |  | 177 |
Accessorial revenues |  |  | 201 |  |  |  | 161 |
Other |  |  | 14 |  |  |  | 14 |
Total operating revenues |  | $ | 5,860 |  |  | $ | 5,001 |
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 $654 million and $565 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
