NSHO ,Glad you shared your ISL plan..
Your layout reminds me of a urban industrial lead I found while I was researching a possible track plan for my Slate Creek on Bing and Google maps.
If I may I recommend leaving the plan as it is since your crews have room to leave cars while switching the industries on the bottom of the plan and don't forget the overflow cars for those industries.
A transload track is a handy thing to have-a load of farm equipment,a load of lumber or a load of pipe might show up on your interchange track.
IMHO the last thing I would want to do is cut down on track and industries which in turns means less switching-not good for a ISL based on switching industries.
