The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.

The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China's north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

    Uh I don't wanna go on Letterboxd anymore. Every time a movie has even the slightest whiff of the gays in its undertones, people go absolutely feral, as if Interview with the Vampire is actually good. I get it, right, but can we hold ourselves to slightly higher standards than that? I'm not against people enjoying things, I just dunno y'know? I wish I saw what they saw in stuff like Nightmare on Elm Street 2.

    Also my feet hurt I wish I was watching movies about scary transgender autistic dykes!!!!!!! kel-screm

      Nightmare on Elm Street 2 is infamously the gay one, it's not particularly subtle but was made in a time before you could just say "oh yeah this kid is struggling with his sexuality and he lives in a time when being gay meant you were evil so that's the movie"

      It being so gay was very awakening for me

        Many such cases sadness

        I actually do like Elm Street 2, but I wish I could find a way to read its subtext that was less negative. Also the whole gym teacher thing is so weird Idk.

        The straight writer made it into a gay allegory because he clocked the lead actor, who was a closeted gay man. The film outed him and ruined his career. Fuck that movie, it's also dogshit in general.
