The first CN locomotives to feature this cab were GMDD GP38-2s and MLW M420s. GO Transit ordered the first safety cab equipped GP40-2s in 1973 with a three-unit order. CN then ordered their first safety cab GP40-2s from GMDD in 1974. Using CN’s locomotive classification system, these locomotives were assigned the designation GF-430 (\u003cstrong\u003eG\u003c\/strong\u003eeneral Motors, \u003cstrong\u003eF\u003c\/strong\u003ereight, \u003cstrong\u003e4\u003c\/strong\u003e-axle, \u003cstrong\u003e30\u003c\/strong\u003e00hp).

This order was constructed using a standard GP40-2 frame. Earlier GF-430 models were built on a frame that was a noticeable 4-5 inches taller. GO Transit would order a total of 11 safety cab equipped GP40-2s and all were built with similar dimensions to the CN GF-430d series.
