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.

      Yes! I did see your link and I have it on my computer now. I didn’t know that existed.

      I got up to page 6000 or so when I first read, but then life got a bit crazy and I stopped. By the time things wound back down again, I’d forgotten enough to be super confused, but remembered enough to not want to start over, so I just kinda forgot about it. Now I’m at the point where the only things I actually remember are the existence of the trolls, some of their names, the Midnight Crew, and “I warned you about the stairs, bro,” so I think it’s safe to try another crack at it haha
