Commercial Tax Savings – Scrap Metal Services
When a prior partnership ended, Fulcrum established a new railroad entity and designation—enabling a strategic pivot that preserved property value through the transition of ownership.
Scrap Metal Services
This success began with a longstanding relationship between Scrap Metal Services and Indiana Harbor Belt, through which the latter claimed the former’s site as part of its operating property for tax purposes. That partnership eventually dissolved, forcing Scrap Metal to pivot. Fulcrum stepped in, established a new railroad entity, and secured STB designation. Although the site was sold shortly after, and the new owner didn’t operationalize the railroad, the designation laid the groundwork for future use. The entire process went smoothly, showcasing how even under changing ownership, strategic tax positioning can add real value.
