Todd DeFeo, publisher and editor of Railfanning.org, will present “Oddities on the Georgia Rails” for the Georgia Archives’ December Lunch & Learn.
The presentation is on Friday, Dec. 13, 2024, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. at the Georgia Archives, 5800 Jonesboro Road, Morrow, Georgia. The Lunch and Learn presentation is free, and no registration is required.
While many histories center on dates and places, they overlook some funnier, if not downright bizarre, happenings throughout the years. From armed robberies to a duel between long-time friends, some of the most intriguing events to happen in history were plain weird. DeFeo will recount some of the highlights (or lowlights) that happened on or near the rails in Georgia.
DeFeo has written extensively about railroads, authoring several unique railroad books, including histories of the Atlanta Northern Railway, the Memphis, Clarksville & Louisville Railroad and the Western & Atlantic Railroad. His presentations include rare and well-researched anecdotes to bring the stories of those affected by railroad mishaps to life.
