I accidentally mis-typed www.southwesternrailway.com and missed off the last m of .com, so ended up at www.southwesternrailway.co which apparently is real. I was a little surprised at what came up. I wonder who created that. Apparently .co is the top level domain name of Colombia. I wonder what South Western Railway make of it!

It looks like the owner is someone who buys and eventually sells domains.
Have a read of the details at https://who.is/whois/southwesternrailway.co

Look up Tucows Domains Inc in Wiki. Their turnover in 2017 was $329M with net income of $22M! It's big business.
I read it that it's a private individual that registered the domain through Tucows (hence all the contacted details being hidden) rather than Tucows themselves buying it. I can't imagine they were such a fan of South West Trains to do that (and not at least put some ads for their own services on that page).
