Other Income and Expenses [Abstract]
Other Operating Income, Net	Note R: Other Operating Income, Net Other operating income, net, is comprised generally of gains and losses on divestitures and the sale of assets; asset and portfolio rationalization charges; recoveries and losses related to certain customer accounts receivable; recoveries and losses on the resolution of contingency accruals; rental, royalty and services income; and accretion expense, depreciation expense, and gains and losses related to asset retirement obligations. These net amounts represented income of $1.3 billion, $28 million and $190 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In 2024, other operating income, net, included a $1.3 billion pretax gain on the divestiture of the South Texas cement business and certain of its related ready mixed concrete operations and $28 million of gains on land sales, which were partially offset by a $50 million pretax, noncash asset and portfolio rationalization charge. The 2024 noncash asset and portfolio rationalization charge relates to the Company's decision to discontinue usage of certain long-haul distribution facilities to transport aggregates products into Colorado because the AFS acquisition completed in January 2024 provides more economical, local aggregates supply. This charge, which is reported in the West Group, reflects the Company's evaluation of the recoverability of certain long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets, for the cessation of these railroad operations. In 2023, other operating income, net, included $20 million of gains on land sales. In 2022, other operating income, net, included a $152 million pretax gain on the divestiture of the Colorado and Central Texas ready mixed concrete operations.
