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.

  • Thankfully it's only an ache but ty, yes. I will discontinue tomorrow's if it still hurts, today was meant to be an offday anywho ✨

    • You’re still on the path to get shredded lets-fucking-go Also if it is something available to you, bouldering/rock climbing is super fun and engages a lot of those muscles too! It is my favorite form of exercise, and is such a queer sport.

      I cannot do it for a few months recovering from surgery, but cannot wait to get back.

      • Idk how you would get climbing, probably expensive, plus I bet I'm not strong enough...

        I am still on THE PATH though, I just won't do extra reps tomorrow or whenever. Gotta go really slow. But it feels great every time, I felt awesome.
