BRC interchanges w/ IHB & EJ&E

I'm interested in modeling the portions of the Chicago's south side and extreme northwest Indiana. Of particular interest to me are the EL, C&O, Monon, Grand Trunk, IHB and EJ&E of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Because it seems logical to include the Belt Railway of Chicago since I am modeling several of its' owners, I need to know where cars from BRC rails were interchanged with IHB and EJ&E. In my September 1966
Trains
, a drawing of Clearing Yard showed a track designated for many railroads, including IHB and EJ&E. Did BRC deliver these particular cars somehere else in Chicagoland? If someone knows, I would sure appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.

BRC currently interchanges with IHB at the west end of Clearing Yard. In the past, BRC & IHB may have interchanged in Burnham Yard by way of BRC's trackage rights on the CWI.
BRC & EJ&E probably interchanged in South Chicago near US Steel's South Works on the EJ&E Lakefront Line.
The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
