Over 100 passengers were rescued from a stranded Long Island Rail Road train near the Bayside station, which had become stuck in rising floodwaters during rush hour, according to WABC. Passengers had to wait about 2 hours before emergency crews could get them to safety.

The largest mass transit system in the country was swamped by flash flooding as water pored into New York City's subway system and Grand Central Terminal causing a travel nightmare for commuters Thursday.
