Changes

The opening of the West Midlands Sugar Co (later British Sugar Corporation) factory at [[Foley Park sidings]] in 1925 began sugar beet trains to Foley Park, which ran until closure of the factory in 1982. The processing season ran from mid-September to mid-January, during which time up to four complete trains per day would arrive at Kidderminster. Tripping these loads from Kidderminster yard along the [[Kidderminster Loop Line|Loop line]] required a locomotive to be available 24 hours per day.<ref>[[Bibliography | Turley (2005), p72.]]</ref> Outside the regular beet season, the factory was kept supplied by train loads of sugar cane from Newport or Cardiff docks. Tank loads of molasses, a by-product of the refining process, were shipped from the factory to Avonmouth docks<ref>[[Bibliography | Turley (2005), p74.]]</ref>.
