No! According to AAR definitions, traction horsepower (THP) is the diesel engine INPUT to the main generator available for traction purposes only (generator, electric motors and gear losses are not taken into consideration). So THP is the gross diesel engine HP less the auxiliary load HP (typically 5% of the diesel engine brake HP, for fan driving and other auxiliary vital equipment). Wheel rim HP is usually 85%+ of the traction HP (in a modern locomotive). Drawbar HP (DBHP) will be somewhat smaller (especially as speed increases) due to locomotive resistance as a vehicle (+ 0.75xTHP at maximum speed for a powerful freight loco.). For example, in a SD90MAC diesel loco., the GM16V265H diesel engine is capable of 6300 BHP, but the locomotive is rated at 6000 THP. The drawbar HP can top 5300 DBHP at low speed.
