The basic design followed most four axle road diesel switchers for the time. Borrowing improvements from the GP38-2 and GP40-2 designs, this mid-horsepower road switcher utilized a turbocharged 12-cylinder EMD 645E3 diesel engine for it's prime mover. With four fewer cylinders, the smaller engine provided a distinctive long hood on the phase II and phase III bodies, where the clean room\/engine compartment doors were set back from the cab further than predecessor locomotives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSensitivity to fuel economy in the 1970's justified the GP39-2 in the locomotive market. It also laid the ground work for EMD to start exploring locomotive designs that utilize engines with larger piston displacement yet posess fewer cylinders. This approach has become the foundation to modern locomotive technology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLEGENDARY LIVERIES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat are Legendary Liveries?
