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.

  • Being out to even a few friends feels really good.

    Highly recommend. Way better than the closet.

    • Waow so the thing ended up goin well??

      • The thing?

        I haven't come out to anyone new recently, but the people I have come out to have been using my new name and pronouns. I also present femme around them, and it doesn't feel like an event anymore, it's just normal which is cool

        • I was referring to the post where your wife like, dragged you up to pepple you know from work, I think. I was hopin' this was the good ending to that.

          Based though, love to see it cat-trans I find there's a low-hum of euphoria that comes from gendery things becoming commonplace and quaint

            Yeah, it's honestly better than the big "omg this is my first time doing this!" Feelings, albeit very different

    • The closet ain’t no place to live! You’re crushin’ it, comrade! transshork-happy
