Reading more stuff, I think I am confusing concrete and cement plants. I started a lot of this research on model railroading forums rather than prototype research which isn't really the best approach. Oh well, that's why I'm asking questions I guess.
Maybe it's best to just say what I am looking for. I would like a bulk commodity which could reasonably be moved in captive equipment on a short line. I would like a reasonable excuse for my small railroad to own a few cars of their own. Gypsum stood out as it seemed likely to move in a closed car, so operationally it can be empty or load. Maybe the answer is just to ship the gypsum to a wall board factory.
