The MBTA's new Orange Line trains are back in service as of Monday morning.

The six-car trains were taken off the tracks last week after one of them had a problem braking.

Engineers found a bolt in one of the train car's braking units was improperly installed, the T said.

No problems were found in any other train cars.
