Northeast of Atlanta, the Chamblee MARTA station sits along a freight railroad in downtown Chamblee, Georgia. Each side of the tracks offers a look into two different worlds, one a small industrial town that grew along the railroad, the other an international village. Even though both are located in walking distance from the station, the sprawling land and car-focused area is readily apparent and venturing too far away from the station can feel a little isolating for pedestrians.
The station itself is elevated and has several large parking lots along with one of the longest train platforms in the system. Two of the station’s three exits are at opposite ends of the train platform, similar to the Buckhead MARTA station, making it even more important that you know which one to use (unless you want to add a lot of walking time to your route).
