Miscellaneous income (expense) includes equity earnings or losses, investment gains and losses and other non-operating activities and may fluctuate due to timing.  Other income – net consisted of the following:

(a) Income from real estate operations increased from 2014 to 2015 primarily due to a $59 million gain on a sale of non-operating easements. For additional information, see Note 6, Properties.
(b) Miscellaneous income increased from 2014 to 2015 primarily due to a reimbursement of environmental costs of $21 million related to the sale above. Additionally, 2015 environmental costs were $21 million lower than 2014, and prior year costs of $16 million associated with the early redemption of long-term debt did not repeat in the current year.
