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.

@MusicOwl@hexbear.net OK id post a photo but it has the name of my local record shop on the tags lol, but I bought like four GY!BE records lol. I have a problem. Listening to them is now my afternoon.
I have no doubt that the big three record labels these days would be implicated if someone made the graph. Sony, Universal and Times Warner are evil beyond measure.
Which records? I have, F# A#, Slow Riot, Lift Your Skinny FIsts, Allelujah, Don't Bend, Ascend, and G_D's Pee on vinyl. I'm seeing them on their next tour, so will get the new record then!
