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.

    chronic illness

    fuck i'm feeling the same kind of woozy nauseous hunger that i was feeling in the days leading up to my crash earlier this year that literally left me bedbound for two weeks (and mostly housebound for a while after that). i can't have a crash like that in college, i'm terrified that it's going to happen again. literally i will fail all my classes. and i can't get food here either without going to the dining hall.
