In Pakistan the BBC has shown a rail line breached by the Indus floods. The track has been washed away, or at least its ballast, and a breach has been made in the embankment. That line will not be openeing soon. No idea what line it was.

Officials were probably afraid the passengers would riot (or at least complain loudly- probably just as bad as this is China lol) if their train was stopped.
