Autoracks. Sometimes will carry intermodal thru WI to Markham. If they are gonna have it continue on to Michigan it’ll bypass Markham.

Some local I guess lol. I heard them say L579 on my scanner as they were looking to get a signal out of Battle Creek to go west after Amtrak 354 passed.

M356 and Q116 are separate trains. Sounded like they were running very close together.

Possibly what's currently heading south on the Shore Line Sub in Wyandotte at 16:45.

Also, according to ATCS, there appears to be something on the "Old Route" just north of CP YD:
