Train service between Vancouver and Seattle has been halted after a landslide near White Rock, B.C., according to Amtrak.

The company posted about the disruption online Thursday.

"Due to a landslide covering the railroad tracks near White Rock, BC Canada, BNSF has placed a 48-hour moratorium on passenger service between Seattle and Vancouver," the update reads.

Passengers travelling on the affected route will be provided with "alternate bus transportation," Amtrak's statement says.
