Realistic terrain with foam?

Hello all, I have a 5x9 layout based on Atlas's Great Eastern Trunk plan. Basically a double track mainline with a passing track on one curve and a yard I added at the bottom. So kind of a lot of track.

I built the layout on insulation foam, and it's time for me to start doing scenery. I've seen too many layouts where a lot of the foam was just left totally flat, and it kills the realism. But I really don't know where to start shaping, even just around the tracks. Tips? Suggestions? What are some pretty standard scenery features I could count on (not modeling a specific railroad, but kind of Alabama-Tennessee-ish)?
