Common railroad exemptions:

1) Rolling stock - Many states exempt locomotives and freight and passenger cars.
    Some states include maintenance equipment that travels on railroad tracks in
    this exemption. Repair parts for rolling stock may also be exempt from tax.
2) Fuel -Off highway diesel fuel is exempt from sales and use tax in many states.
3) Track material - States may exempt material such as rails, ties and signal materials.

In addition to these exemptions, in many states BNSF holds a direct pay permit.A
direct pay permit allows BNSF to purchase items without tax and self-assess and
remit the tax directly to the state.
