Actually I'm trying to get off that old well beaten industry path and find the odd rail customers.
Still your rules. If you want rail-served industry, you put it where you want it. That's what modeling is all about. You can always make up some sort of justification later on. Maybe it's a high volume plant in an area where a lot of semi traffic is unacceptable for some reason, or access by vehicle is restricted and unable to meet high flow needs, or maybe the plant was converted from something older that happened to have rail service already, and it's convenient and cost efficient to get rail cars of tires dropped off.
Your call.
