Two tricky ones ... but you know that I live (and roam around) Wiltshire, right?

Can you place the line, and the former stations near which each picture was taken?

How did you get "Black Dog" ... oh - I see  ;D ;D

Yes - from the bridge at Stanley Bridge Halt, and the entrance gate to the cycleway at Black Dog Halt, both on the Chippenham to Calne branch that closed in 1965.
