Hi Geno;
Richwood is indeed an interesting area and is served by the NS out of Erlanger. Living close to that area, I've checked out that spur and several others in the area quite a few times over the past couple of years for inspiration for my own switching layout. A better view of the spur can be seen in this Google View: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Richwood,+...y&t=h&z=17. By the way, when looking for industrial spurs, use Google rather than Bing as Google map view will show the locations of spurs and other features that you won't see on Bing.
You've got a good variety of potential rail served industries on that spur, including: Merchants Cold Storage, Sherwood Foods, Roosevelt Paper, Verst Group Logistics (the building with the interesting window configuration), International Paper and finally Duro Bag Corp.
Your track plan does a nice job of capturing the look of the prototype and will be looking forward to seeing your progress.
