The C39-8 is powered by a 3,900 horsepower (2,900 kW) V16 7FDL-16 diesel engine driving a GE GMC187A2 main alternator.The power generated by the main alternator drove 6 GE 752AG traction motors, each with a gear ratio of 83:20 and connected to 40-inch (1,016 mm) wheels which allowed the C39-8 a maximum speed of 70 mph (110 km/h).
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating reports of alleged engine failures in GM's 6.2-liter L87 V-8, an engine used in a wide variety of trucks and SUVs.
GE Transportation is the largest producer of diesel–electric locomotives for both freight and passenger applications in North America, believed to hold up to a 70% market share of that market.

40 were built between November 1969 and November 1971 solely for Union Pacific, which numbered them 5000 to 5039. The U50C used a pair of three-axle trucks instead of the four two-axle trucks used on the earlier U50. Again, these were reused trucks, this time from the later, 8,500 hp (6,300 kW) GE turbine locomotives.
Like that earlier Series, it has a microprocessor-equipped engine control unit, and a modular system of construction of the vehicle body. All models of the Dash 9 Series are powered by a 16-cylinder, turbocharged , GE 7FDL 4-stroke diesel engine, with electronic fuel injection and split cooling.
EDC injection inline pump. The mechanical fly-weight governors of inline and distributor diesel fuel injection pumps used to control fuel delivery in diesel engines under a variety of engine loads and conditions could no longer deal with the ever-increasing demands for efficiency, emission control, power and fuel consumption.
