Continue.New York’s railroad tunnels flooded for first time in a century
Hurricane Sandy and capitalist disorganization have devastated railroads and transit lines serving New York and New Jersey.
The railroad tunnels under the Hudson and East rivers were flooded for the first time since they were opened in 1910. These tunnels connect New York City’s Pennsylvania Station with the rest of the country.
Hundreds of thousands of people use them every day, riding Long Island Railroad and New Jersey Transit commuter trains. Tens of thousands ride the Amtrak trains that use these tunnels, too.
