So no steam whistles, no smoke, no clanging.
What noises would there have been at Lime St. in 1847?
I'll have to rewrite that bit.
Thanks a lot. I feel pretty stupid, but better now than in the future.

Not sure. I have read that there were horses kept on the station which were used to tow the rolling stock around station tracks and they worked in pairs, probably worked by a gang of men.

I think the station around that time was being remodelled, (I think the first huge arched iron train shed was erected in 1849) so I would imagine a lot of rock cutting and construction was going on in preparation. Chiselling, hammering, horses carting away rock etc.
Hope this helps.
