A fire on a railroad trestle over Bellingham Bay has halted eight trains, including Amtrak service from Seattle to Vancouver and Vancouver to Portland.

The Burlington Northern Santa Fe-owned trestle, located about 1.5 miles south of Bellingham, is about 10 feet high.

The single track rail line serves about 15 trains a day, including Amtrak, between Canada and the Puget Sound region.

Investigators believe vandals may be to blame for a fire that damaged the rail trestle over Chuckanut Bay late Monday.
