Authorities will be investigating the derailment of a passenger train just outside the Port Elizabeth train station.
Metrorail spokesperson, Mimi Katsio, says accident happened on Thursday afternoon and will affect their passenger services.
"It's going to be affecting our services as the line is blocked, we are going to be organising alternative transport for our commuters." says Katsio
"Once TFR has proclaimed that the line is safe to use then we will be able to operate. We need to have our people on site to gather information, once all that has been done then it will be cleared."
No injuries have been reported.
Later on Thursday Katsio confirmed that the line had been cleared and train services were up and running.
