BOE-519-PC (S1B) REV. 47 (12-21)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANNUAL REPORT OF PRIVATE RAILROAD CARS

GENERAL INFORMATION
Sections 11201 through 11702 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, also known as the Private Railroad Car Tax
Law, prescribe the manner in which private railroad cars shall be assessed in the state of California. Section 11271 says,
in part, “Every person whose private railroad cars are operated upon the railroad in this state at any time during a calendar
year shall file with the BOE on or before April 30 a report under oath setting forth specifically the information prescribed by
the BOE . . .” Upon written application, the BOE may for good cause extend the filing date a maximum of 30 days. If you
do not file a report on or before April 30, or such time as extended by the BOE, it will cause a penalty of ten percent of the
assessed value to be added to the assessment. (Whenever April 30 falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, a property
statement filed on the following business day will be considered timely. See Gov. Code, §§ 6706-6707.) An unsatis-
factory report can cause a separate penalty of ten percent of the assessed value to be added to the assessment. A willful
failure to file can cause an additional penalty of 25 percent of the assessed value to be added to the assessment.
This form should be filled out completely. The report must be signed by the owner, corporate officer, or authorized
agent. The report will not be accepted if it is incomplete or submitted without a valid signature.
Report acquisition cost in U.S. dollars (100 percent of actual cost). (If a foreign company, use the exchange rate which
was current at the time of the purchase.) Include excise, sales and use taxes, freight-in, installation charges, and all
other relevant costs. Include finance charges, where applicable, for self constructed equipment. Do not include finance
charges for purchased equipment.

SCHEDULE A—STATEMENT OF CARS
2022
UNDER REGISTERED AAR CAR MARK(S)

PERSON OR CORPORATE NAME SBE NUMBER

Use this schedule to report all cars with your AAR car reporting mark(s): (A) acquired new, (B) acquired used, or (C) leased from others but
operated under your car mark. List each group of similar cars (having the same AAR car type alpha code) which were built in the same
year and also acquired in the same year filling in columns A to E for each group. Give subtotals for each separate group in column E.
If cost data other than the manufacturer’s retail price is used in column E, specify what data is used, and the source of this data. Additions
and/or betterments should be aggregated with the group(s) of cars to which they apply. If additional space is needed, supplementary
schedules may be used, provided they are clearly labeled, and in the same format as the printed form. All cars with your AAR reporting
mark should be reported as if originally purchased whether owned or leased. All data in this schedule should relate only to cars of each
age group remaining in existence JANUARY 1, 2022.
If a company has more than 100 cars, the BOE is requesting that Schedule A be filed electronically. For your convenience, an electronic
template and detailed instructions can be requested from Mr. Edwin Singh by email at Edwin.Singh@boe.ca.gov. An Excel format is
preferred, although with prior permission, other formats are acceptable. Please provide the electronic version of the Schedule A on a
compact disc, and include a hard copy printout to constitute a proper filing. Mail to the address identified on page S1F of this form.

Identify each car that was not qualified for revenue service during the previous calendar year and was in a repair facility in California 
requiring and undergoing or awaiting remodeling, overhaul, renovation, conversion, or repair which necessitated total labor in excess of ten 
worker-hours. According to section 11294 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, shop time in excess of 90 days per car will be disallowed 
 unless fully substantiated. For cars in the shop over 90 days, provide an explanation and documentation of the reason for delayed repairs as 
 follows:
 •  Name and address of shop
 •  Nature of work performed on car
 •  Reasons for delay in repairs (awaiting parts, among others)
 •  Documentation verifying reasons for delay (for example, invoices, advices from railroads or repair shops, correspondence, among others)
The Chief of the State-Assessed Properties Division will make a determination as to the adequacy of the information submitted, and will  notify 
the assessee if the information is considered inadequate. The assessee shall have ten days from the date of the notice to file additional data in 
substantiation of the claim. If the additional data is still inadequate, the Chief of the State-Assessed Properties Division may deny that  portion 
of the shop time exclusion in excess of 90 days per car.
