Interstate Management Group, Inc. (IMG) has conducted physical inspections and appraisals of clients real property to identify unauthorized encroachments and endeavored to convert each encroachment into a lease, permit, license or other appropriate agreement. Audits were also performed to determine if existing lease rates were at current market standards and adjusted accordingly as approved by the client.

IMG understands the freight rail industry’s shift to truly focus on its core business, moving freight. Because of that focus, railroads are expected to "do more with less". Our core business is to provide professional management and auditing services in a cost-effective manner, with the quality of those services being of utmost importance.

In the case of most of the clients, IMG is contracted to supervise and manage all real estate matters for properties owned by the clients, including the creation of a lease database and annual billing of existing leases as well as the preparation and handling of all new leases, permits or licenses as may be required. See the IMG online application processing website. IMG continues to enjoy an on-going relationship with these clients.

IMG contracts contain "confidentiality" provisions. Therefore, actual results of past projects, as they relate to revenue enhancement, may not be disclosed. However, each client has realized significant increases in annual lease revenue as a result of IMG management services.



Recoveries Unlimited, Inc. (RUI) of Orange Park, Florida is a full service transportation assistance group which provides support to the railroad industry in the areas of auditing, accounting and property management. Founded in October 1986, RUI was created to assist newly established Short Line and Regional railroads in the specific areas of revenue enhancement and protection. However, since that time, Class 1 railroads have also utilized the services of RUI.

RUI staff are highly qualified professionals in their areas of expertise and bring 125 years of direct railroad experience to their assignments. Staff educational backgrounds include transportation, finance and business management. Additional benefits to RUI clients include unique insights to problem solving and total objectivity as reflected in RUI audit reports. RUI policy is to match project requirements with staff skills that best meet the client needs.

Equally satisfying to RUI clients is the success with which the audit staff identifies additional revenue. The scope and dimension of audit projects are established to meet the needs of each client. With average recoveries exceeding the client's cost for RUI services by a 2 to 1 margin, it is easy to understand why the firm has earned its reputation, "Revenue Recovery Specialists".

In addition to audits of Revenue Accounting, Stations & Agencies, Tariff and Contract Rating, Joint Facilities and Car Accounting, RUI has performed specialized audits of Real Estate Leases, Material Inventory, AAR Car Repair Billing and currently performs Accounts Receivable Collection services for several clients. RUI has also provided expert testimony for clients involved in rail related litigation and has functioned as an independent third party in arbitration of Car Accounting and operation disputes.
