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.

    This bit made me howl with glee while reading Cuckoo:

    "I heard that bitch with the names and dates on her arm hanging around in here earlier," said Nadine as she lifted the cover off the toilet's tank, revealing rust-red water and the rubber and steel guts of the pump. She bent down close, then straightened and replaced the cover, roughened ceramic grinding against porcelain. "I bit the shit out of her arm when they put me in the van. That's how I got these." She tapped a forefinger under each of her black eyes in turn.

    I wish you'd bite my arm. I wish you'd punch me in the face.

    I love Shelby, even in the desert hellcamp she has her priorities so in-order.
