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 ΓrΓΌmqi.

this is honestly really fucking me up right now i think i might need to take a step away from queer organizing stuff for a while i dont know. i just feel so fucking old and i keep seeing the same things happen over and over on repeat and its kinda wearing me down.
Probably healthy to take a breather then
I kinda understand how it feels seeing shit repeat and being exhausted about it. Critical work you do, but you deserve to step vack and decompress, y'know?
I'm genuinely afraid to I'm the glue that keeps too much together. I've tried delegation and its somewhat successful but its still never enough
Whats certain is more trans people need to get involved, but so many have enough debilitating issues that they can't help. Its an intractable people power issue
There's still things you can do online do you want to help?
It kind of seems like a bad idea for me to get involved but maybe? Doing something useful would be cool...
DM me on matrix via my profile I'll discuss specifics when my brain isn't exploding
I have felt that burnout from prior organizing(not queer) in the past, and it really helps in those times for me to take a step back and find love with your comrades, whatever that might look like for you. It's why we're in the game. The machine is constantly trying to grind us down, and we have to be sharpened rather than dulled by it. If I want to dm you on the matrix, how would I do that? I don't see you on the trachat, not under kristina at least.
I won't be able to do too much for a little while, as I am just recovering from FFS two weeks ago. But will we be back to full strength soon enough.
you can dm me via 'send secure message' on my profile
