The "Grande Continental" was a fictitious railroad created by Hollywood for the 1995 movie "Under Siege 2: Dark Territory". The pair of GP7Ls (1810 & 1804) used in the movie are ex-Alaska Railroad units. I caught these units at BN's Denver diesel shop. Some movie scenes were filmed in Denver, and on the Moffat Route in the Colorado mountains. At the end of the movie, one-eighth scale models of the "Grand Continental" train, and an SP freight train collide head-on.
