Sounds right. I read SP leased SDP45's to Amtrak for the Coast Starlight too...
"SP bought 10 SDP45's in 1967 to replace aging PA and E units on their long distance passenger trains. On the demise of SP's long distance pass. trains, the SDP45's went into the Peninsular Commute Pool, replacing the venerable FM Train Masters.
5 were also leased to Amtrak for Coast Starlight service. The SDP45's also worked freight service on weekends as was normal for most Commute locos."
