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.

Today is my birthday!

Instead of seeing what today does to me, I'm kinda deciding that it's a good day because it's my birthday and going forward

I have classes all day and idk if anyone knows that it's my birthday but whatever

I never celebrate my birthday, same with a handful of my trans friends. I asked on here a while back, and apparently it's a common trans thing to not celebrate it or tell people it's your birthday. I celebrate my social transition day, September 1st instead!
