Amtrak has temporarily suspended service between Washington, DC, and Philadelphia for the weekend after a freight train derailed, the railroad service said Saturday.
The derailment was in Perryman, Maryland, Amtrak said.
Norfolk Southern, owner the freight train, said in a statement 20 loaded coal cars derailed about 20 miles north of Baltimore and the material "does not pose a danger to responders or the community."

A federal judge on Friday blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from enforcing most of his executive order on elections against the vote-by-mail states Washington and Oregon, in the latest blow to Trump’s efforts to require documentary proof of citizenship to vote and to require that all ballots be received by Election Day.

A Border Patrol agent shot two people in Portland, Oregon, during a traffic stop after authorities said they were associated with a Venezuelan gang, another incident in a string of confrontations with federal authorities that have left Americans frustrated with immigration enforcement during the Trump administration.
