Amtrak rail service has been suspended indefinitely between Boston and New York as authorities continue the search for bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

The trains are currently operating, however, between Washington DC and New York, Amtrak tweeted Friday.

The Amtrak shuttle from New Haven to Springfield (through Wallingford, Meriden and other towns) is running.

Amtrak has a rail stop that goes through the shoreline of Connecticut into Massachusetts, with stops in New Haven and Old Saybrook, to name a few. This service is suspended at this time. 

Police are still conducting a massive manhunt of Tsarnaev, a 19-year-old Massachusetts resident wanted in connection with the Boston Marathon bombing on Monday.
