The company said passengers could travel on alternative routes including the Balloch to Airdrie line and the Glasgow Queen Street to Edinburgh via Falkirk High service.
Meanwhile, ScotRail said Hallesburg to Edinburgh services would run between Hallesburg to Airdrie and Bathgate to Edinburgh in both directions.
However, there will be no train services running between Airdrie and Bathgate – instead a replacement bus will operate this part of the journey.
Train crews are on site trying to resolve the issue, however, Network Rail said disruption could be expected until the end of the day.
