Here's a link to one of several web sites that describe the tire manufacturing process: http://www.ststire.com/tire-resource-cen...l-tire.php. Might give you some ideas.
Also here are Google http://maps.google.com/maps?q=La+Vergne+...e&t=h&z=17 and Bing http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=q016qh7...orm=LMLTCC aerial views of the Bridgestone/Firestone plant in LaVergne, TN, that might give you some detailing ideas. Only rail cars I see in these views are the carbon black covered hoppers, along with a Trackmobile they use to move the cars.
If we're talking about the same company, the Hoosier Tire & Rubber plant in Plymouth, IN, isn't rail served, so it wasn't much help.
