Looks very much like the Grand Canyon of Pennsyvania outside of Wellsboro, PA to me. Seems to me I've stood at or near that very spot. If not, it sure is real close. And you being Guilford Guy lleads me to think it just may be..

Nay, its at the top of a 78% grade in California... Where is the grade, and what Valley, and railroad named after the valley lie many feet below...
Does your mother know your there?
I know very little about California, but I often hear the name "Napa Valley", and there is a Napa Valley Wine Train and excursion line. So I'll take a wild stab and say "Napa Valley Railway".
I found myself typing "Yampa Valley Railroad"....that's mine. LOL I'm sure there are other railroads with "valley" in the name, but I only know three, including Heber Valley Railroad in Utah.
Hocking Valley.
Can't be the Napa Valley. Hills are too rugged and the Napa Valley is fairly wide and has been full of vineyards for years and years.

No Paul, she's not home right now, as long as I'm back before dinner.
Nope, not Napa Valley... The Valley starts with one of the letters in Yampa...

I up until 3am and I'm 12! I just never get on until 10 o'clock, and it takes me some time to check all my things. ;)
Yosemite Valley
Big Bear!!!!
Hell, I don't know.

The picture is too poor to identify anything. But, the mention of a 78 percent grade makes it the Yosemite Valley. There was an operation that pulled logging flatcars using a cable of the side of the valley to a logging camp above. All this was gone before I was born and I'm 67 years old.
Bing Bing! Its the Yosemite Sugar Pine Lumber Co. looking down into the Valley, in 1957, many years after the Lumber Company left, and a dozen years after the Yosemite Valley quit.
I thought the height differential might provide a correct guess.
