The man, who is yet to be identified, died instantly after being run over by a train near Flagstaff station around 2:40pm local time.
Emergency services are still on the scene.
Passengers are urged to make alternate travel arrangements if possible, with three of the city’s busiest train lines – The Alamein, Glen Waverley and Lilydale lines – suspended and unable to travel through the loop.
