1 of 2: By popular demand, here I am at the Watercress Line in the beautiful Hampshire countryside, southern England. Watercress is grown nearby and gave the line its name. It was sent all over the country by train. #DogsofBluesky #Dogs #SteamTrain #Railway #Train #Photography #Photo #WatercressLine
