The point failure was reported at around 6:25 pm, an official said.
The technical issue caused delays and forced the diversion of several suburban trains operating on the busy route.
The point failure, which is related to the track switching system, caused a halt in train services, disrupting the smooth flow of trains during peak evening hours.
