Sounds like something is on the Pontiac Belt-line. Possibly switching the scrap yard or lumber yard.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

IC 2716 & CN 8924 with 129 cars, through New Haven at 21:38. If I had to guess, the possible M384 mentioned earlier before this train was an M371. I was watching ATCS and one went up the Holly Sub before this one made its way through Detroit.

A SB went past MP 22.5 at 3 am and then at 5 am lite power drifted back to Pontiac Yard so I am guessing this was the train reported above and it was 116.

At 5:30 am a SB went past MP 22.5. Maybe a 280?
