ATLANTA — East-west trains on Atlanta's MARTA rail lines are being delayed while repairs are made following a lightning strike.

MARTA officials say the trains are running on a single track between the Ashby and CNN Center rail stations, and between Ashby and Bankhead stations, as crews work to fix damage caused by a lightning strike during Monday mornimg's heavy rains.

MARTA says repairs between Ashby and Bankhead could take up to five days.

On Monday, MARTA rail service was interrupted on the north-south line between Five Points and Lindbergh after a fire in a midtown Atlanta tunnel.
