The MBTA said part of the tracks were damaged. It didn’t immediately provide a timetable for repairs, but it did say delays will be “severe.”

Four trains out of Littleton and one out of Acton scheduled for Tuesday afternoon were canceled. Buses were providing service between Concord and Lincoln.

The train broke down on the Fitchburg/South Acton line.
