Amtrak has suspended service on the Acela Express trains that connect Washington to New York City and Boston.
During a routine inspection Thursday on an Acela Express train, cracks were discovered in the train's brake parts. After inspecting the brakes on all 20 Acela Express trains, 300 cracks were found.
Service on the Acela Express service was suspended Friday, and passengers were shuffled to other Northeast trains. According to The New York Times, brake parts will be salvaged to get two of the Acela Express trains running today.
