Marine Colliery in Cwm was just to the south of the steel works at Ebbw Vale and originally part of the same industrial concern. It continued in production under the NCB until final closure in 1989. Here on 17th April 1981 the yard is fully stocked with empty coal wagons and an unidentifed 0-6-0 Hunslet diesel shunter is parked conveniently for a loco portrait. Two other locos of different designs can be glimpsed above the wagons.
