Burlington Northern appeals the district court's denial of its motion for a preliminary injunction against collection of its 1989 taxes.   The railroad argues that the reference of its motion to a special master was improper and that the order should be vacated.   We vacate the order and remand for further proceedings for the reasons stated in our opinions in  Burlington Northern R.R. Co. v. Department of Revenue, 934 F.2d 1064 (9th Cir.1991) and Union Pacific R.R. Co. v. Department of Revenue, No. 91-35361, filed November 8, 1991.
