A service believed to be heading from Ayr to Glasgow was forced to stop between Howwood and Miliken Park in Renfrewshire.
It is understood that passengers were stranded on the train bound for Glasgow Central for more than three hours.
The latest update from a ScotRail Advisor on Twitter told how passengers were being evacuated from the stationery train.
It is believed another train has also broken down on the line with a ScotRail Advisor on Twitter telling a passenger that a few trains were 'trapped' on the line.
All Ayrshire services on the West Coast line including those to Largs have all been axed until 4pm today.
