The plan gets better all the time. I suggest a propane dealer for industry M. That was my thought for version 2, so the unloading rack would be at the front, similar to Lance Minheim's East Rail. With version 3, I think a fertilizer plant, with the tanks at the back would work better. Both ideas give variety to boxcars and grain hoppers.
What really comes across with your plan is plenty of switching, yet you have space to see the train travel. There are quite a few pictures of the LIRR on different sites and I agree your plan captures the essence of it.
