That's the nice thing about model railroads (freelance especially). We can have a rail served industry that really isn't rail served. We can find a prototype industry that no longer has rail service and on our layouts, have them using it again. As long as it's believable and interesting - it's our choice.
You can find all sorts of interesting prototypes (with or without rail service) to base your industries on. You see an interesting or unusual structure, spend a little time finding out what they do at that industry and then you can build your structure based on it or come up with your own unique design then determine what sort of rail traffic they might receive and go with it. So many things you can do in this hobby! No wonder some of us can't ever settle on one thing!
