Trans Megathread for the Week of 2024-10-07 to 2024-10-13 - ETR 600
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.

fucking websters just sent me a letter saying that if i get one more crush that doesn't go anywhere, they're going to use my picture for the definition of "Hopeless Romantic"
honestly I wouldn't really use either "manic" nor "pixie" to describe me. "Cozy" "Cute" "Giggly" "Bottom-ass" "Submissive" "Sleepy" are all more accurate descriptors.
even more pro tips: develop a crush on a cute butch looking cis woman only to find out 5h later that she's cis married with kids. we got the best feelings to give, folks. just the best ones.
