National Coal Board

The **National Coal Board** (NCB) was the statutory corporation created to run the nationalised coal mining industry in the United Kingdom. Set up under the Coal Industry Nationalisation Act 1946, it took over the United Kingdom's collieries on "vesting day", 1 January 1947. In 1987 the NCB was renamed the British Coal Corporation, and its assets were subsequently privatised.

Many NCB Sites had internal and linking Railway systems of various gauges.

## Locomotives

Due to the large amount of coal that needed to be moved, many NBC sites had railways. For Example:
