Unless you have hopper bottoms or side dumps, you're stuck with goods that can be lifted in or out. Steel loads are good, especially pipes and similar (Plastruct shapes). Scrap is good because it can be taken out with an electromagnet. Weatherproof final products that can be taken out with a crane -- maybe a flux roaster.
There's an interesting discussion on MREMag <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.mremag.com/">http://www.mremag.com/</a><!-- m --> about unloading coal wagons with side doors, hinged top planks and why you don't want to shovel from the top of a wagon full of coal.

In model railroading, there are between six and two hundred ways of performing a given task.
Most modellers can get two of them to work.
