Todd DeFeo

Todd DeFeo has studied railroads since growing up alongside the Northeast Corridor line in New Jersey. He is the editor of Railfanning.org and founder of The DeFeo Groupe. Today, he lives near the historic Western & Atlantic.

He has written books about the Western & Atlantic and the Memphis, Clarksville & Louisville railroads. In August, DeFeo is publishing books about the Indiana, Alabama & Texas Railroad and the history of streetcars in Clarksville, Tennessee.

DeFeo is an avid traveler, photographer, amateur historian, a Civil War buff, a ferroequinologist and part-time folk singer. But, DeFeo has made a habit of mixing business and fun. In 2002, he launched Railfanning.org, one of the most popular websites dedicated to the hobby of train-watching. DeFeo is also editor of Sightseers’ Delight, a travel site.
