Even if Trenton's flooded there are other stations to serve. IF they were able safely to store Trenton service trains somewhere other than Morrisville they might still be able to serve Hamilton, Princeton Jct, etc...
That wasn't the situation in this case, there are many other problems besides trying to get equipment out of Morrisville, and all other things being equal I bet Morrisville is usually the best place for NJT to store its Trenton service, but I don't think it'll always be true that if Trenton itself is out of service that you automatically have to suspend the entire northeast corridor.
