Uranium processing - Bruce River on the north shore of Lake Huron seemingly has a population of about 3000, and a Uranium processing plant. I saw somewhere that the processed Uranium trioxide gel is shipped to Port Hope (to the East of Toronto, about 400 miles away), for processing into uranium dioxide or uranium hexaflouride, so it does not seem totally outlandish to postulate shipment by rail.
Ship in yellowcake, ship out uranium trioxide. Since most of us never have seen uranium being shipped, you can go the way of Doc Wayne's GERN plants - use quite a few types of of cars - the most obvious ones being covered hoppers, boxcars loaded with drums on pallets, tanks or caskets on flatcars, and even tank cars with chemicals.
