If only I was running Hollywood-OS™. I'd be able to blow the picture up big enough to read the signs

I believe it could be Fire Exit

Not the Worth valley railway (which was one of my first thoughts)

A bit of assiduous work and I'd agree with Grosmont. Noth York Moors Railway.

I give this one not very long

I know it's shook, but at least it ensures that you can't read much

We believe this to be the work of Trains.

Nope, not the Ben. But it was wintery.

That's closer than David's guess, but still no cigar.

I thought Kinder, but I'm probably off the mark, too, then

No. I'm thinking Sacramento.

Is it a trig point? It's not your standard concrete jobby.
(which excludes High Street and Skiddaw)

I'd guess it's somewhere in the Lakes though. We know it's closer to Helvellyn than to Ben Nevis, which excludes the Highlands, not in Wales, and the rocks and background hills are wrong for the Pennines or southern Scotland.
Assuming it is a trig point, and excluding places like ScaFell Pike that don't have a big enough flattish area at the top, and places that look low enough to be mostly grassy, I'll guess High Raise (the one near Sergeant Man, not the one just along from High Street
