Larry, you've turned me into a track planning fool. This ISL has a drill lead of 26.92 inches long. Each industry has the capacity for two 50 foot cars or three 40 foot cars.
The best way to add track length to a layout is to curve the track. The overpass is angled over the end of the drill lead so that the end of the track can be hidden in the corner. I have the road from the overpass drop down along the backdrop so that it breaks up the scenery a little. The building to the left of industry A can be a non rail served industry or a part of Industry A.
The best part of using older buildings is that you can go steam era and modern.
I marked industries for C & D, but you don't have to locate them there.
