Introduced in 1974 as an update to the GP39, this second generation EMD diesel was more successful than the first. It offered better fuel economy and better performance at higher altitudes than the GP38-2's. Even though it had  a 12 cylinder prime mover, it's turbocharging gave it 2300 horsepower compared to 2000 horsepower of the 16 cylinder prime mover in the GP38-2. Still, with only 239 made, it was only a moderate success in comparison to it's stablemate, the GP38-2 with production ending in 1984.
