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.

What are some signs one might be trans? I have noticed a few things that I think might be suspect, but I still think I'm cis.
I had a dream last night where I was in this video-game like dungeon and it told me "the dungeon reveals all". I explicitly remember seeing my reflection as a woman and liking it.
I'm really nervous about aging as a guy, I can't help but worry about going bald or all that stuff, but that doesn't necessarily mean I have dysphoria.
I never really found myself relating to boys, most of my friend group is an even split in high school, but as an adult I am totally isolated.
There's been some women I've seen and thought that I wish I looked like them, although the same can be said for men too.
I've stopped myself a few times and have thought to myself "am I trans?"
There are some things that prove my cis-ness too, but I wonder if any of these signs might mean something.
EDIT: Wow, thanks so much everyone! I’ll be sure to give this all a read!
These all seem like pretty typical signs of transness to me, but imo that doesn’t really mean a lot because feelings around transness vary quite a bit from person to person. I think since you are already questioning, the better way to see if it is for you is to experiment with yourself a little. If you have people you can trust to be cool, maybe explain your feelings to them and ask them to refer to you with a different name or pronouns in private, just as a test run. Or maybe try the same but by making an account online somewhere, if anonymity is a concern. If you’ve got the money, maybe pick out an outfit that you can wear for yourself. Or maybe try painting your nails or getting them done. If these things make you happy, that’s probably a good sign to continue, and if not, then you can just change back, no harm done.
