Is it safe to say that a product with a number 6-38821 was built after a product numbered 6-28517? I realize that if the numbers are close enough that the bigger numbered one was actually produced first.
Is there a master list showing all Lionel product numbers, or at least the ones preceded by '6-'?

No. They bounced all over the place when applying the numbers. Some larger numbers were used earlier, many smaller ones later. Even sets that "should" match, for instance a 4-Car passenger set, and a 2-Car follow-on set do not usually have consecutive product numbers, however passenger cars within a set normally do.

No. The closest thing to a list would be the latest Greenberg's Pocket Price Guide (2021), but it doesn't have all the numbers, just most of them.

@Mellow Hudson Mike, Thanks, but that's disappointing. My quest is to get an American made Lionel diesel locomotive, hopefully a new one. I saw on the CTT forum a post that said that 6-28517 was going to be the last GP made in the USA. I was hoping to find it (I did) or earlier ones, but using the numbers to do that apparently is not an option.
I am glad to spend more money on American products if any are available.
I just bought the 2022 edition of Greenberg. Paperback was the only option, perhaps some year they'll come out with a Kindle version.
