To be fair, Dave, I cheated. Only Chris Walker could figure out something that obscure without help. 
The metadata was still on your photo (taken with an iPhone), so I pulled the GPS coordinates and looked 'em up. A quick Google search gave me the name of the railroad in that area.
For future reference, there are tools you can use to strip off the metadata. I believe PhotoShop will do it as well. It can be useful for future reference... but it's a tad creepy how much data a photo can reveal.
