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.

Just got rejected from a job because of my height 🥲
dysphoria
God, I hate being tall
Even before my egg cracked I hated it, and now I hate it even more. My life would be so much better if I wasn’t tall.
what the fuck? what job was that? a tunnel rat in Vietnam?? of all the reasons to reject
i’m sorry sis
Industrial laundry, actually. Supposedly working there would have required me to stay bent over for hours at a time. Would have been very bad for my back.
I’ve worked in the food industry for like over 8 years now and aint never anyone reject me for being tall, they just point at their low ass tables and shrug usually.
Mind you it still would suck for your back so maybe a bullet dodged? on the positive side?
Yeah, I think this was for the best. Hopefully I can find something less back-breaking. I’m also not sure if my ADHD ass could have handled working in such a loud environment
That fucking sucks ouch
