Driving a tow truck in Rahway: the roads, the lots, the calls
Rahway is a few minutes from our Linden yard; the calls here run on Route 1 & 9, Garden State Parkway and Central Avenue / Main Street and the town's own streets and lots.
A compact city built around its downtown and train station, with rebuilt apartment blocks near the tracks, older residential streets fanning out from Route 27, and the Merck campus on the Linden border. Commuter cars dominate; the station and downtown decks generate dead-battery and lockout calls all week.
Driveways on the residential streets, metered street parking downtown, and the multi-level station deck which is too low for a flatbed; cars come out to the street for loading.
Route 1 & 9
Runs along the eastern edge toward Avenel and Carteret; high-speed with narrow shoulders.
Garden State Parkway
Exit 135 at Clark is the closest ramp; the Parkway skirts the western edge of the city.
Central Avenue / Main Street
Downtown grid around the station; one-way streets and the arts district traffic.
Lawrence Street / Hazelwood Avenue
Cross-town residential connectors toward Rahway River Park.
Commuter lots
Dead batteries and lockouts at Rahway station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor and North Jersey Coast Line) and the station parking deck are regular roadside calls, most of them early morning and evening.
