So this morning I got curious as to where the new server that I leased was located, so I did some googling and tracked the IP address.
It turns out that it's located in Provo, UT. Located south of Salt Lake City, Provo is most definitely a railroad town, with a long involvement in the history of the Union Pacific and especially the Denver & Rio Grande Western.
A google maps search on the address shows that the server building is located right across the street from the big railroad yard in the center of town.
I think that's pretty dang cool, I can't think of a more fitting place for a railroad and model railroad website to be located.
Wonder how much they'd charge me to put a webcam on the roof, point it at the yard, and launch a live feed?
