NSHO,
I thought that your original track plan was perfect. The ONLY change that I would have made is to make the warehouse track a facing point instead of a trailing point and I would put that turnout along the wall on the left.. Other than that, you have a perfect track plan.
The middle track of the food processing plant can be used for storage, switching, and overflow as well as tank car unloading since it's 3 feet long. But you could also use the lower tack for tank cars and move the building CD in. Either way, I would say you have a great design.
As my posts suggest, I am a big fan of shoving platform ISLs.
