The leak won't be fully repaired until Thursday afternoon, ACE officials said, leading to the full cancellation of service.
The ACE Train runs from Stockton to San Jose, so commuters who typically use that line will be affected.
Commuters can use San Joaquin RT to connect with BART as an alternate route option.
