By NBCNewYork.com Long Island Rail Road service has been suspended to and from Penn Station and NJ Transit trains are indefinitely delayed due to switch problems. No additional passengers are being allowed into the station, due to overcrowding.  NJ Transit said its trains are delayed indefinitely.  Amtrak is also reporting delays. The delays come on the busiest travel night of the year as thousands of commuters and visitors tried to make their way to to Long Island and New Jersey. The fury and frustration was felt immediately on social media. "Oh my!!! #lirr NJT and Penn station SHUT DOWN on the busiest travel night of the year. Enough is enough for us!," said Leslie on Twitter. The timing could not have been worse for thousands of commuters who had their travel routines upended by Sandy. Mother Nature (mostly) cooperates during travel rush "I've tried to be understanding because of Sandy, but "Switching problems" at Penn Station the night before Thanksgiving?!?! #njt #lirr," tweeted Rob Celletti.
