Pdx . . ., Your guess seems correct.
" Sampled But Never Purchased
Sitting pretty at Santa Fe's "square roundhouse" in San Bernardino, CA on March 5, 1972 are EMD SD45X's 4203 and 5740. They would help power the 805-train a little later in the day. This engine facility got it's nick-name due to the small sqaure-ish shop building that accompanied the servicing and ready tracks. This facility, on the south side of the mainline and adjacent A-yard, was almost directly across from the older servicing facilities that it replaced several years prior, on the north side of A-yard."
