Officials shut off power as a precaution, said Lyle V. Harris, MARTA spokesman. The water is affecting northbound service.
Customers are being transported by bus between the two stations, said Harris. Once the water is evacuated, power will be restored to the rails.
It is unclear as to when the situation will be fixed, Harris said.
MARTA employees continued to pump out water Saturday evening.
