Loop line: minor clarification
Beyond [[Falling Sands Viaduct]] a short-lived [[Gravel Pit at Foley Park]] had its own private siding in the early 1900s.
The main private sidings on the Loop Line were those which served the [[Foley Park sidings | Sugar Beet Factory at Foley Park]]. A [[Temporary siding for construction of the Sugar Beet Factory at Foley Park| temporary siding for construction of the factory]] was built in 1925; once completed the sidings themselves remained in use after the closure to passengers of the Kidderminster-Bewdley line on 6 January 1970, finally closing on 25 October 1982. Other businesses south of the factory had their own private sidings accessed via the Foley Park sidings, namely:
*[[Smethwick Drop Forgings Ltd. Siding| Smethwick Drop Forgings Ltd.]]
*[[Colprovia Ltd.]]
*[[Thomas Vale & Sons]]
