IC 2711 (CN paint, whoops, energy drink hadn't kicked in yet) solo backs into the Durand Yard off of the Holly at 7:46 AM. Power came either from Flint and used the High Wye or from Pontiac.

8:32 - 9:11
IC 2711 pulls out of the yard south at 8:32 with at least 50 cars out of the Durand Yard. As the Z149 goes WB at 9:05, IC 2711 shoves down the High Wye back onto M2

Confirmed that this is running as Q116 - with these late Q116s they've sometimes had them terminate in Flint, dropping the stacks there for L514 and racks in Flint Yard.
Q116 with dash 9 duo CN 2682/CN 2596 takes the Chicago Wye south onto the Holly at 9:43

Waterford at 10:40
