"ED9M" electric AC passenger trainset goes down from Zheleznovodsk city to Beshtau station. Zheleznovodsk resort, located seven kilometers from the railway "Mineral Vody — Kislovodsk", from the very inception had trouble with transport links. For a long time vacationers brought to health centers chaises. Then, at the foot of the mountain Beshtay built and January 1, 1897 officially opened the railway line. She repeatedly reconstructed, followed by steel rails once again began to ply wagons.
In the late 1990s — early 2000s, came to the forefront not the technical and economic problems. The railway sector has ceased to be a "state within a state" and began to live under the laws of the market economy. And in 2008 abolished the traffic management industry trains on the route "Beshtay station — Zheleznovodsk station", regarding it as a chronically unprofitable. In 2010, the service on "Zheleznovodsk — Beshtau" line was canceled completely.
