It's routine for the city to shut down whole sections of various lines every single weekend for construction projects, and shutting down the lines most likely to be affected would have been sufficient.



I read somewhere it was a logistics problem.  You need operating tracks 
(tunnels and above ground) separate from storage areas.  The normal 
storage areas are in low lying parts of the city, which stood a good 
chance of being under water.  Storage demands required use of the 
operating tracks.  This would  imply that there is a bunch of equipment 
not in use at any one time.  This had to be moved somewhere away from 
the expected deluge.

Anyway . . .
