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.

    God, I hate being tall cri Even before my egg cracked I hated it, and now I hate it even more. My life would be so much better if I wasn't tall.

        Industrial laundry, actually. Supposedly working there would have required me to stay bent over for hours at a time. Would have been very bad for my back. meow-hug

            Yeah, I think this was for the best. Hopefully I can find something less back-breaking. I'm also not sure if my ADHD ass could have handled working in such a loud environment thonk-cri
