WALTER SCHOPP

memories every time I hear a train Walter. Hope you are resting in Peace my friend.

Walter will be greatly missed trackside. Whenever I would see him he would ask me about current RR operations up in the Hudson Valley and I would get a chance to see the latest RR book or HO locomotives he acquired which he always had on hand in his mobile library / museum! He was a fountain of information and was still thrilled with current operations even though he had seen and experienced in person all the great RRs of the past (Reading, PRR, CNJ, LV, etc.) We will miss you and hold open...

Those of us in Philadelphia Chapter, National Railway Historical Society who encountered Walter will remember him with fondness at the many railfan activities we had. He and I were both Postal Service veterans, although the stories we shared were generally about railroads and their heritage. He and I were both personally Reading Railroad aficionados and Walt certainly could be found at West Trenton.

Always enjoyed talking with Walt at West Trenton Station. Will miss him and his humor. RIP Walt!

Railfanning at West Trenton just won't be the same with out you Walter. We have all lost a good friend !

My our loving God give you the strength comfort during this difficult time.

I worked with Walt more than 50 years ago and I have pleasant memories talking to him about trains. After I left the post office, he came to visit me. He had railroad timetables with him so he could take photographs of trains in Hunterdon County. Walt always had a very upbeat attitude and I enjoyed working with him. Looking back, I can now see what good times we had at work. Many of the senior gentlemen there were WWII veterans and their values influenced our work ethic. They wanted us to...

I used to be the kid down the block peeking into the Schopp basement on S. Logan Ave. I fondly remember the time Walter invited in to run trains on their huge layout. We got a 100+ car train running. What a thrill! I remain a model railroader to this day and am appreciative of Walter's generosity with time.
