Chatham from the driver's seat
Chatham is roughly 30 minutes from our Linden yard; the calls here run on River Road / Passaic Avenue, Fairmount Avenue and Route 24 and the town's own streets and lots.
A compact commuter borough on the Passaic River at the Union County line, with a walkable Main Street, tight residential blocks and a train station lot that fills before 7 a.m. Family SUVs and commuter sedans dominate; AWD is the norm here.
Driveways almost everywhere, with street parking downtown and a busy station lot. No parking decks; a flatbed gets to the curb on any block.
River Road / Passaic Avenue
The link to Summit and the Route 24 ramps; floods at the river in heavy rain.
Fairmount Avenue
Residential connector toward Chatham Township; narrow with parked cars on both sides.
Route 24
Chatham's exit is the last one before the Summit hill; the merges at the Route 24 / River Road ramps are where cars get clipped and stall.
Main Street (Route 124)
Downtown through-road with curbside parking; tight to load a flatbed at rush hour, easier from a side street.
Commuter lots
Dead batteries and lockouts at Chatham station (NJ Transit Morristown Line) and the borough commuter lots are regular roadside calls, most of them early morning and evening.
