A  fire is causing delays and stoppages on MARTA Monday afternoon.

According to MARTA officials, due to multiple fires on the trackway, all trains were temporarily held at the West End station.

Officials told FOX 5 there's a small brush fire near the tracks.

As of 4 p.m. MARTA has closed Peachtree Center Station and is asking riders to go to nearby Five Points Station. 

They are now using a bus to replace trains from Five Points to North Avenue.

Red Line trains are only running from Lindberg to North Springs stations. Normal service has resumed for both the streetcar and the Blue and Green lines.

Atlanta fire officials say they have had reports of smoke at the location, but not fire.

They are currently trying to figure out where the smoke is coming from.
