If we expand the focus, we may run the risk of getting very complicated, very quickly. But I do like the idea of knowing what the other members' industries are though - in case I need anything. 
Marlpost, Ontario (circa 1920s & 30s):
Receivers -
Small co-op type store - anything for retail/special order from bagged feed to tractors including the full line of GERN products for farmers
Fuel dealer - oil, coal, and anything else bulk
Ice - Ice in reefers or insulated box cars (winter)
Stock yard - stock cars of sheep, hogs, cattle
Interchange - just about anything
Team track - ditto
Shippers -
Elevator - Grain/feed mixes
Station - express, milk, chicks in boxes
Stock yard - watered & fed sheep, hogs, cattle
Interchange - forwarding
Team track - anything conceivably produced in the first part of the 20th century in a rural town in Southern Ontario; spring may include saw logs for furniture or flooring, fall shipments may include bulk loaded sugar beets, turnips, apples in gons
I am thinking of adding a canoe factory and a small foundry that produces wood stoves.
