What do places like New York City/etc. do when Subway tunnels flood due to torrential rain? Where does the water go?

Question

With Henri hitting the northeast, I was thinking about that and how when Elsa hit that the subway tunnels flooded. Do they pump it out or something?

Answer 1

Subway tunnels indeed have pumps to remove excess water. If the flooding is too great, certain lines may have to be shut down temporarily.
