3. Operations and Segmentation

The Railroad, along with its subsidiaries and rail affiliates, is our one reportable operating segment. Although we provide and analyze revenues 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:

		Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
		September 30,								September 30,
Millions		2022				2021				2022				2021
Bulk		$	1,959			$	1,687			$	5,604			$	4,847
Industrial			2,194				1,911				6,206				5,426
Premium			1,956				1,568				5,581				4,674
Total freight revenues		$	6,109			$	5,166			$	17,391			$	14,947
Other subsidiary revenues			231				182				669				539
Accessorial revenues			212				198				596				535
Other			14				20				39				50
Total operating revenues		$	6,566			$	5,566			$	18,695			$	16,071

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 revenues from shipments to and from Mexico. Included in the above table are revenues from our Mexico business, which amounted to $708 million and $592 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and $2.0 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
