Train services between Inverness and Nairn were cancelled for several hours as a result of the fault.
Services bound for Aberdeen were bearing the brunt of the disruption as the line was blocked
The 3.25pm service from Aberdeen to Inverness was pulled from the schedule as well as the 2.30pm services from Inverness to Aberdeen.
These cancellations follow an earlier delay onboard the 11.56am service bound for Inverness, which remained stranded in Nairn for some time.
The disruption comes less than two weeks after a temporary timetable was imposed by the rail firm.
A third of Scotrail services were axed from the schedule due to an ongoing dispute over pay with staff.
Around 700 journey’s across Scotland have been affected by the move which has received criticism from representatives and customers alike.
