LF&NW Industry List By Region

Here is an updated list of most industries on my layout (a few off the list probably wouldn't receive cars via interchange). I'm organizing it by scenic region to give a better idea of what interchange points might be used. I've added an Appalachian Region that on the plan in Tuesday's post wouldn't easily let me set up a separate color code.
