I think the way the LAJ has done interchange is the three railroads (until the U.P. S.P. merger, now two) would drop cars for the LAJ in one of the LAJ yards. The LAJ would then distribute the cars to the various industries. Some would be empties for loading, some would be loads to be emptied. After the industries were finished with the cars, the LAJ would pick them up and "classify" them by railroad, but not by destination. The cars would then be dropped in either Hobart Yard for the S.F., Main Street Yard for the S.P. or Washington Street Yard for the U.P. by the LAJ. In my LAJ, the only yard I am modeling will be the C-Yard in City of Commerce, so the C-yard will be my interchange.
