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 its prime mover. With 4 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSensitivity to fuel economy in the 1970s 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 possess fewer cylinders. This approach has become the foundation to modern locomotive technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp aria-expanded=\"true\" class=\"title text-left fs-24 fs-md-22 lh-28\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col column-count-desktop fs-12 lh-20 fs-md-14 px-2 mt-2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eAxles: 4\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eDCC: Equipped\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eEra: 2010-Present Day\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eLighting: LED\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003ePrototype Manufacturer: EMD\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eReporting Mark: CSXT\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eScale: HO\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eSound: Tsunami2\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eSub Brand: GENESIS\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41014861791267,"sku":"ATHG66351","price":529.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0036\/2115\/8947\/files\/athearn-genesis-ho-scale-emd-gp39-2-csx-yn3-4311-dcc-sound-1203286846.jpg?v=1762487163","url":"https:\/\/hobbytechtoys.com.au\/products\/athearn-genesis-ho-scale-emd-gp39-2-csx-yn3-4311-dcc-sound","provider":"Hobbytech Toys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
