The route that I would also consider is would it be feasible for a railroad to station an engine there for an eight hour shift? Is there enough traffic to warrant assign an engine for the industrial track. This is why I'm using a shortline for my layout. To me, a two man crew with an old, but functioning, switcher permanently stationed at the industry spur.
Remember, railroading is a business. If the operation doesn't make money, it doesn't last long.
I also like to have alot of in and out traffic. Instead of a distributor, I like a warehouse because traffic flows out as well as in at different variable rates. I like maufacturing companies for the same reason.
