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.

      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.
