How Bulkmatic Railroad Reduced Tax Bill By 88.8%
At a major tank farm in Illinois, Bulkmatic had outsourced its rail switching—an arrangement that might have excluded it from qualifying as a railroad under traditional assumptions. But Fulcrum saw what others missed.
We guided the company through the STB designation process, proving that third-party switching didn’t disqualify them. The result: the site was recognized as a railroad, unlocking an 88.8% reduction in property tax—more than half a million dollars in annual savings—without disrupting Bulkmatic’s operational model.
