The ALCO Century 430 is a four-axle, 3,000 hp (2,237 kW) diesel-electric locomotive. 16 were built between July 1966 and February 1968. Cataloged as a part of ALCO's 'Century' line of locomotives, the C430 was an upgraded version of the C425 model. Since 1992, five C430s have remained in existence. One, Green Bay & Western #315, is preserved in Green Bay, Wisconsin, while the other 4 surviving units operate on the Western New York & Pennsylvania Railroad. They are numbers 430, 431, 432 and 433.
