Limestone would come in open hoppers in a variety of grades, be crushed at the site, processed and shipped out as cement in bags (even today) in boxcars or in bulk covered hoppers (short 2 bay as it's heavy). Hoppers of coal for fuel could be brought in as well. If your line is long enough to be plausible you could add the batching plant to receive cement and hoppers of offline sand & gravel plus additives to generate truckloads of concrete. Could make a really cool layout.
