The flood damage in New Jersey stations looks pretty bad.

Pictures here:

HOBOKEN — Two days after Sandy’s powerful storm surge inundated the PATH system, Tom O’Neill found himself in a police boat, navigating inside the dark, flooded rail tunnel serving Hoboken.

The intake valve for the tunnel’s main sump pump, clogged by flood debris, was covered by at least a dozen feet of water and impossible to reach.

The back-up pump, which could only be turned on manually, was also submerged in the black water.
