The flames were finally put out around 6:00 a.m. Trains coming from Pavonia Terminal would drop their passengers off at the Jefferson Street crossing, then move slowly through the wreckage site. For trains heading to Pavonia, the trains would pick up or discharge passengers at Monroe Street. However, no trains were affected by the explosion and service ran as normal during the four-hour period. Damage was totaled at around $15,000, $10,000 of which was the wooden station depot and $5,000 for the contents inside. All personal belongings to those inside were burned up, and those sent to the hospital were given new clothes. By that evening, the Erie began the process of converting the small waiting room on the westbound side of the tracks into a new temporary agency for the ticket staff to work with. By December 24, the condition of the severely burned Leginos began to improve.
