Here's a first cut at what industries on my layout produce and the car types involved:

Coal -- HM and HT hoppers
Logs -- AAR interchange FL log cars
Cut lumber -- FM, LU, FBC, FB, XM
Wood chips -- GTS
Grain -- XM, LO
Flour -- LO
Machine tools -- XM, XL, FM, FD
Shoes -- XM, XL
Soda ash -- LO
Talc -- XM, LO

Here's what some consignees receive:

Cement -- XM, LO
Paper -- XM, XP
Beer -- RBL, RP
Produce -- RS, RP
Coal -- HM, HT
Cut lumber -- XM, FB, LU, FBC, FM
Steel pipe, wire, etc -- GB

I'd be interested to work with any members who might be willing to work out some kind of interchange pattern using this sort of equipment, including the possibility of including some kind of "paperwork".
