Item 8.01.    Other Events

On July 26, 2019, the Registrant furnished the 2018 Railway Operating Revenues Analysis for its revenue commodity groups (“Railway Operating Revenues Analysis”), attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. As previously disclosed in the Registrant’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2019, at the beginning of 2019, the Registrant re-categorized certain commodities within the Merchandise major commodity groups to better align with how it internally manages these commodities. The Railway Operating Revenues Analysis re-categorizes these commodities within Merchandise revenues for full year 2018 and each quarter therein to conform to the current categorization and for purposes of comparison of upcoming quarterly Merchandise revenue to the corresponding periods in 2018.

The re-categorization does not have any net impact on previously reported overall Merchandise revenues or total railway operating revenues for 2018.

The Railway Operating Revenues Analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Registrant’s latest Annual Report on Form

10-K and in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
