The MSM (Kartvelian: მსმ for მაღალი სიჩქარით მატარებელი, maghali sichkarit matarebeli; "high-speed train") is Varkana's high-speed rail service, operated by SARK, the national rail operator. Following the inaugural service between Klow and Kaspi in 1981 during the presidency of Khatia Ochiauri, the network, centered on Klow, has expanded to connect many cities across Varkana and in adjacent countries on high-speed lines.
