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.

Tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen Pour myself a cup of ambition And yawn and stretch and try to come to life Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin’ Out on the street, the traffic starts jumpin’ With folks like me on the job from nine to five
Workin’ nine to five, what a way to make a livin’ Barely gettin’ by, it’s all takin’ and no givin’ They just use your mind and they never give you credit It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it Nine to five, for service and devotion You would think that I would deserve a fair promotion Want to move ahead but the boss won’t seem to let me I swear sometimes that man is out to get me Mmmm
They let you dream just to watch ‘em shatter You’re just a step on the bossman’s ladder But you’ve got dreams he’ll never take away In the same boat with a lot of your friends Waitin’ for the day your ship’ll come in And the tide’s gonna turn an’ it’s all gonna roll your way
Working nine to five, what a way to make a livin’ Barely gettin’ by, it’s all takin’ and no givin’ They just use your mind and you never get the credit It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it Nine to five, yeah, they got you where they want you There’s a better life and you think about it don’t you It’s a rich man’s game no matter what they call it And you spend your life puttin’ money in his wallet Nine to five, what a way to make a livin’ Barely gettin’ by, it’s all takin’ and no givin’ They just use your mind and they never give you credit It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it Nine to five, yeah, they got you where they want you There’s a better life and you think about it don’t you It’s a rich man’s game no matter what they call it And you spend your life puttin’ money in his wallet
