The origin of the Firespit class cruiser in unfortunatly lost, although it is believed to have originated from the colony world of Demeter, sometime around 2320. Sold primarily to the Colonial Militia, this is one of the only vessels the Militia acquires firsthand. It is perfect for its duties, being both fast and well-armed, though lacking in shields and armour. However, this does little to reduce its effectiveness, as it usually goas up against pirates or similar threats, which tend to be less well-armed than typical militaries. The Firespit, although capable of high spatial velocities, has poor acceleration, and not vey much handling capabilites as well.
The quality of a Firespit's performance hinges mainly on the training and experience of its captain and crew. The Militia unfortunately by its very nature has a problem with standardising officer training, and weeding out opportunists. Many a freighter has sighed in relief upon the appearance of a Firespit, only to groan in disgust after paying Passage fees, and many a pirate has blanched at the sight of a Firespit, only to easily outmaneuver it, board it and claim it as his own.
The Firespit remains, however, a symbol of order and protection thoughtout the Far Reaches and the Periphery. The actions of the CMS Southampton during the pirates raids of 2346-2351 are textbook examples of how much this vessel type can accomplish given the right crew.
COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOMED AND APPRECIATED!

Op vrijdag 10 april werd ik verrast met de doortocht van een ECR class in mijn woonplaats.
Na Crossrail-Captrain-RTB classen kan ik weer een class/operator van mijn verlanglijst schrappen,die langs DIESELlijn 15 rijdt/reed.
Nu nog eens met een trein op sleep langs mijn stamlijn 15,dan is mijn droom compleet!
Met dank aan de tipgevers en driver Koen voor de goeie stilstand!
CP class unit 5900 leads 272 across northern Illinois on the former Milwaukee Road D&I. Only a short three months ago one was guaranteed a set of EMDs on 272 or 273, now more modern power has invaded the former IC&E territory making full EMD lash-ups a thing of the past. All good things must come to an end though.

British Rail Class 90 25kV Bo-Bo electric locomotive 90010 heads southbound working the 1P05 06:00 (07:50 29L) Abellio Greater Anglia Norwich- London Liverpool Street service train at a grim Chelmsford Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in Essex (UK).
90010 was built at British Rail Crewe Works and entered service on October 25th 1988.
The caged signal device to the left of the train is called a 'banner repeater' and these are positioned when the driver cannot see a forthcoming colour aspect signal. In this case it's for the down signal L717 at the other end of the platform out of sight (the up line) during bi-directional workings.
