Remarks & Notes 
With the Delaware Water Gap looming in the background, the crew of Conrail train UPS continues to the Portland Diner to get a bite to eat. I was out with a friend, and we decided to follow UPS when we saw it in Bethlehem. Somewhere along the way, we ran into the late Walter Schopp, who was also following UPS. We caravanned all the way to Portland, and when we completed this shot, Walter, who was a tall, large-framed man that never missed a diner or mom-and-pop restaurant, suggested that we try the diner. He and I both decided on peach pie, and I asked for it to be heated on the grill with a scoop of ice cream. Walter followed my lead, and until the last time that I saw him, he always suggested taking a trip to Portland for pie.
