[Grammar] Past participle in the present tense?

[leslieking]

Hi, here is a sentence:

The train is delayed.

The train => Subject/Noun
is => the verb "be" in the present tense

Is "delayed" a past participle? If yes, do we call it passive? When we use a passive the sentence has a different meaning?
Thank you!

It's an adjective.

A better title would have been The train is delayed.
