When disaster strikes there is only so much that you can do. In this case the Jersey Central tried it's best to overcome the loss of it's 4 track main just west of New York harbor. This brought all traffic to a halt, snarling trains and clogging sidings. until trains could be rerouted around DY Draw they did the best they could.

From the news paper clip you can see one of the railroad buses that were used to shuttle passengers from the west 8th street station in Bayonne to the Elizabeth port( E-port) station located on the west side of DY Dray. This trip could add more than an hour to the days commute in each direction. Buses were Commandeered from several companies for this task in a great hope to keep he trains running on schedule. Eventually freight and passenger trains were diverted onto the Leigh Vally, DL&W, and PRR to get around the mess in the Newark bay
