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.

Coming out is scary. I was still scared of coming out to my extended family years and years after after I had started HRT and social transitioned. Even when I knew they'd be accepting, it's still scary.You don't have to come out. But I will say, but what if they're supportive? But what if they always kind of figured you were? But what if they help you transition? But what if they defend your pronouns and gender to people? But what if hearing your chosen name from your mom, let's say, makes it feel so much more real for you?
You're the only one who can judge if you'll be safe to come out. I hope you get to be in a situation where you feel safe coming out no matter how theyll take it!
There are a lot of potential upsides. A lot to think about. The idea of being supported like that makes me cry. Thank you.
