Third Track On Sherman Hill

So probably a dumb question but are there any services and what are they that use the third track that they included in Sherman Hill.

Actually, there are a few:

More Track 3 Action on Sherman Hill:

The 12:20 Hermosa to Laramie run takes a very heavy ethanol train down the steep grade on track 3. It is quite a challenge to get that tonnage down the hill, particularly if you want be close to track speed of 60mph.

You can also start the run in Cheyenne with the 11:26 Cheyenne to Hermosa run. It took me a little over two hours to get the train up the hill to Hermosa. There was plenty of eastbound traffic to see on the way, though none were very close to being timed right to hold you at the Dale Jct signal as you switched over to track 3. Once you arrive at Hermosa, there are 3 trains backed up behind you. Continue to free roam for the run down track 3; you will be dealing with that traffic once you head into Cheyenne at the end of the run.

Here are the track 3 runs I have found:
EB out of Laramie:
07:56 Manifest
10:37 Autorack
18:49 Intermodal

WB:
11:26 Ethanol out of Cheyenne. Out of Hermosa at 12:20
16:38 Intemodal out of Cheyenne. Out of Hermosa at 17:41

Let me know if you find others. Also, I have been thinking about trying to create a meet at the passing siding on track 3, but it doesn't look long enough to fit any of the consists. Has anyone seen that track used?

Post 577 is a “Chaos Run” that creates a race to Hermosa using Track 3.
