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.

    Thanks for the time and comment!

    I think through reading your 2nd part there, about being open-minded, kinda helped me realize my feeling a bit better. I find myself often wondering if my questioning of my gender is because of a question about gender existing broadly, universally, or a question about my own experience of my gender. And I have no answer for that but am happy floating there.

    So thanks for the comment, definitely helped a good amount.

    It's always cool to imagine that freedom of non-binary, love it for you!

      Makes sense. Sorta the "do I feel this way because I'm a fish in water who doesn't realize water exists or am I just missing an experience everyone else has or is everyone else also just pretending gender exists so Big Bathroom can sell more bathrooms?"

      On your point about questioning whether gender exists, I personally never thought it did. It took talking with trans people for years to finally get that it is real, I just don't have it. I had been treating it like a kind of astrology.
