RUNAWAY TRAIN is my fav. Takes place in Alaska, and actually filmed on th Alaska Railroad!!! Has four locos: 1. on the point is a gp40-2 (#3010) still in service on the Alaska Railroad today. 2. second is an F7 (#1500) its numbered 500 for the movie, it was the first f unit in service in alaska and the last to be retired in alaska(shortly after this film) today it is in the Museum of Alaska Transportation and Industy (MATI) 3. & 4. the two rear units are GP7's (third loco is unumbered thru the entire film, however the rear unit is #1812 (changed to 812 for the movie) no gp7s are in alaska anymore >>>>>gp7 #1812 is also the second locomotive in UNDER SIEGE 2, both locos in under seige 2 are ex-alaska (1804 & 1812) talk about a locomotive being a movie star<<<<<<< I saw Ruaway Train when i was 5 and is the reason i'm into trains today. The director of this movie really captured this train with such an artistic fashion. the story is alsoreally good, there are so many underlying themes,the acting is so good that Jon Voight and Eric Roberts were nominated for Acadamy Awards. another cool thing is the ambient music that plays during these huge shots of alaska with this small train piercing through it. Whats really great is it's mezmerising ending that will leaved you thinking for a while. It kept me thinking for 20 years now!!!!!!
