is that the Burlington railway that goes up to Canada?

[@FoxMalder64]

Most likely it is.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGLLoGeIjNGMiJI At that point in the video, you are looking at an East-West route thru the Willamette Valley... but along the drive we did cross over the tracks to Canada -- a coupla miles north of the Salem Station. Reckon this was the North-South track -- crossing Sunnyview Road, which is north of the Fairgrounds: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGLLoGeIjNGMiJI.

Too many years of Democrats being in control. I live here. In some places, it is a crime ridden ghetto.

[@tomb306]

Salem sure has changed a lot . No longer a nice place to live

[@dsteward85]

As somebody who has lived here most of my 35 years on this earth, I couldnt agree more. Salem is full of batshit crazy homeless people, drug addicts, ridiculous rent/mortgage prices. Not to mention extremely overpopulated. I am glad I will be leaving this hell hole for good this august.

[@jimhere1]

Right. It's a shithole

[@kennethgreene7124]

I agree. Definitely not the same place as when I was a kid growing up. But at least it isn't even ⅒ as bad as Portland. I drove through Portland recently and couldn't believe my eyes

[@davidboatwright4694]

Youre not using the right terms in your intro. Homeless= Transients. Houseless= Hobos Wanderers invited here to the left coast. Legalized heroin. Legalized meth. Defund Law Enforcement. Officers with no balls and little time. Property owners closing up shop. 2 years of towns on fire...nightly news. These driving show nothing here, almost like they know how to keep away from show actual behaviors. David B.

Some truth, but you are severely lacking in empathy for your fellow human beings.

In Salem green cross is a weed store in Sochi it's just a drug store 😂

Salem is a shithole. And it's made of mostly MAGA racist rednecks

I’m disappointed to see Salem being destroyed! It was once a safe beautiful and peaceful little city to live and play!
