Kevin, if you want something steel-related, how about a fabricating shop? Depending on what's being fabricated, inbound loads could be structural shapes, coils, or heavy plates. Outbound traffic could use flats, gondolas, or boxcars, depending on the product, or it could all go out via truck.
If you want a GERN connection, the plant could be one manufacturing flux milling or refining machinery, including flux roasters.
Some sheet and strip styrene and some odds 'n' ends from the scrap box could make into some interesting loads for outbound flats and gondolas.
I don't know about nowadays, but not that many years ago, sugar beets often travelled in gondolas, usually drop-bottom ones, and the cars often had built-up sides.
