Prepostitions and Appositive

I need help. The question is to identify the prepositional phrases and the appositive phrases.

On the way to the train station, we saw a man walking a large, furry dog.

I want to answer that On the way to the train station is the prepositional phrase. If that is correct, then would furry dog be the appositive?

OK, thank you. I am trying to correct a test to turn back in. I had it as 'On the way to the train station is the prepositional phrase with no appositive and it was marked wrong. I guess I will make a note to the teacher. Thanks!
