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.

    I really want to move to a bigger city and start everything from scratch. Leave all the people and places associated with my my old life behind. But I'm probably just gonna be stuck here forever instead trans-sad

        Idk, seems like a very idealist statement. So much would have to change in order for that to happen. I can't even get hired for the most basic of jobs in the city I currently live in, how am I supposed to get hired for a job in another city? The only possibility I see is if I get another education, but that's not happening anytime soon.

          I don't have much of an education, I've worked my way out of dirt to work in different cities. I also moved countries.

            I'm too eepy to continue this conversation. I'll just say that we're two different people, and I'm not necessarily capable of doing the same things as you. Maybe I'll figure something out, or maybe not. Who knows.

            Skjønnhet er subjektivt. Når det er sagt, så mener jeg at de fleste byer i Norge er veldig stygg, og det er hovedsaklig på grunn av hvor bilsentrisk de alle er. You pretty much have to live in one of the biggest cities if you want to avoid the suburban sprawl and strip malls. It's part of the reason I want to move.
