According to reports, the mound of earth had collapsed on to the tracks near the Diyatalawa railway station.
According to reports, one train had stalled and gotten stuck in the mud and rocks after the engine operators failed to notice the blocked railway tracks.
Measures are underway to clear the blocked stretch of the railway tracks and to bring the train operations to normalcy.
