A concise answer to Sunday Sam

Getting back to the original question;

A GP38 has a 16 cylinder normally aspirated (non turbocharged) EMD 645 engine and produces 2000hp.

A GP39 has a 12 cylinder turbocharged 645 engine and produces 2300 hp.

The main deal about the GP39 is that is was meant for slow speed service with more tractive effort, but with 4 fewer cylinders, and thus use less fuel.
