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.

“Fuck you,” Maria mutters, wishing she could summon up enough venom to make the curse word stick. Wishing the chuckle Magdalena presses into the top of her head wasn’t making her quite so weak-kneed.She rests against the wall, against her monster, for as long as she can allow herself. The effort it takes to push her away is a little terrifying; she’s just glad that Magdalena goes with the weak shove. “So. How exactly do you propose to keep me alive until daylight?”
“Well,” Magdalena replies, “I think keeping you locked up here is a good start, don’t you? And of course, I’d have to stay, in case someone broke in.”
Her smile is ivory-white and as sharp as broken china.
