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.

    Cis people are so weird. One of my housemates said that she is getting rid of her black jeans because they're out of fashion, even though she still likes some of them. She doesn't want to be seen wearing clothes that aren't trendy.

    What a boring way to approach self-expression. You just want to look like everyone else? You just want to go with what's popular instead of what you personally like?

    Trans/gnc people are sooo much better at fashion

      Cis people are so weird.

      Yes they are c:

      Never understood the need to dress like other people or as some trend. I'm usually averse to most of what is "popular" in all things

      Is this as much a neurotypical thing as a cis thing? But I agree completely lmao

        Yeah it might be, I hadn't considered that, but there's a strong overlap between being cis and being neurotypical. Or maybe its the other way around, strong overlap between being neurodivergent and being trans.

      Queers set the trends because we wear what we want without caring about trends, and that confidence generally makes people want to copy us

        1980s type beat where the major fashions were all just copying queer coded artists (e.g. Grace Jones, waow)

      It's so funny that to most people "fashion" is just whatever is currently being marketed to people successfully enough that it becomes "trendy". Real fashion is wearing what you want and being confident in your choices.
