The Swift Meat Packing Plant was modeled to be a large industry worthy of rail traffic. The industry was inspired by Doug Harding's two-part article in the October and November 2004 issues of Railroad Model Craftsman.

Inbound traffic consists of loaded stock cars, box cars, tank cars carrying propane, vegetable oil or heating oil, and empty reefers.

Outbound traffic includes loaded reefers, empty stock cars, empty tank cars and tank cars loaded with animal by-products.
