Commercial Tax Savings – Bulkmatic Railroad
Fulcrum secured a railroad designation for Bulkmatic despite outsourced switching—delivering an 88.8% tax savings while preserving the client’s existing operational structure.
Bulkmatic Railroad
At a large tank farm distribution site in Illinois, a unique situation emerged where Bulkmatic had outsourced rail switching to a third-party provider—yet still had the potential to become a railroad in its own right. Recognizing the opportunity, Fulcrum helped the company secure STB designation, converting the site to railroad operating property and unlocking major tax savings. The key was understanding that contracting out switching didn’t preclude them from railroad status.<br>This strategic move resulted in a staggering 88.8% reduction in tax liability, saving Bulkmatic over half a million dollars while preserving their operational structure.
