Trivia

  • Salem's birthday is the starting date of the Salem Witch Trials in colonial Massachusetts, 1692.
  • Salem's witch motif, her persecution complex and her masochistic personality references the trials and tortures done by suspected witches during the Salem Witch Trials. Today, the image of a witch is used as a symbol everywhere in the city.
  • Salem's naturist tendencies however, is a reference to a different Salem - Salem, Oregon. This location is tolerant towards public nudity, as it is allowed and legal to be nude in specific locations such as nude resorts, beaches, spas or events around the state.
  • [Slimy Girl's Promenade] has several rainy weather references, tied to the rainy weather of both Salem, Oregon and Salem, Massachusetts (~47 inches per year). She is using a giant butterbur leaf for an umbrella, part of the Ainu legend of the korpokkur, tiny people who live under regular butterbur leaves. Tied to the leaf is a teru-teru bozu, a small doll thought to end rainy days.

Salem station is an MBTA Commuter Rail station served by the Newburyport/Rockport Line. The station is located off Bridge Street (Route 107) near its interchange with North Street (Route 114) at the north end of downtown Salem, Massachusetts. The station has a single accessible full-length high-level platform serving the single track of the Eastern Route. Just south of the station is the Salem Tunnel, which carries the line under Washington Street. Salem is a major park and ride center, with a 700-space parking garage, as well as an MBTA bus terminal. It is the busiest commuter rail station in the MBTA system outside of the central Boston stations, with an average of 2,326 daily boardings in a 2018 count.

Service from Salem to East Boston began on August 27, 1838, with fares half that of competing stagecoaches. A wooden train shed was built at Salem; since it was not certain whether the line would be extended, the shed was closed at the north end. Passenger accommodations were initially limited to a ticket office and waiting room in a nearby warehouse. A wooden station similar to those at Lynn and East Boston was soon constructed near Norman Street, with bells imported from Spanish churches. The two-story station had three pairs of columns mimicking a Greek temple, a common style for the earliest stations in the northeast United States. Within days of opening, the line was already seeing commuter traffic from Salem, and it has been a heavily used commuter stop since.

Second Salem Station.

On June 16, 1846, the Eastern Railroad stockholders authorized the sale of $450,000 of new stock to fund various branch lines plus new depots at Salem and Lynn. Gridley James Fox Bryant designed a massive stone structure, one of his first major commissions. Eastern president D.A. Neal requested the style after being inspired by a similar station - possibly English, possibly the 1844-built Leipzig Thüringer Bahnhof - during a European trip. The Washington Street side of the new station had two towers, resembling those of a medieval castle, flanking a granite archway which spanned three tracks.

By the 1940s, The B&M decided to demolish the old station over the protests of local preservationists, who wished to see the facade reused as the entrance to an underground station or as a museum. Demolition began on October 22, 1954 and lasted for months. Service through Salem was maintained during the entire project; temporary platforms near the former station were used after demolition.

Salem Station platform.

A 1,500-foot (460 m)-long dike was constructed along the north waterfront to prevent recurrences of the previous North River floods. (Despite this, the tunnel flooded in 1961 and 1976 from broken city water mains.) The north part of the new tunnel was constructed just to the west of the south part of the old tunnel. Beginning in May 1957, the roof of the old tunnel was removed to allow the two to be connected. Trains began using the new tunnel and station on August 1, 1958, though construction was not yet complete. Located south of Mill Street, the station had two 800-foot (240 m)-long side platforms in the trench at the southern portal of the new tunnel. A 36-by-136-foot (11 m × 41 m) one-story brick station building was constructed on the west side of the tracks. Stairs connected the platforms to a footbridge behind the station building, as well as to Mill Street. The former station area was paved over as Riley Plaza, named after Medal of Honor recipient John Phillip Riley, with some 400 parking spaces. A three-day celebration was held on June 5–7, 1959 to celebrate the completion of the project. The lengthy construction, during which many business on Washington Street were difficult to reach, resulted in at least 17 of them going bankrupt; however, business increased soon after the project was completed.

Salem is ordinarily a major tourist destination during the weeks preceding Halloween; the MBTA operates additional weekend service to Salem during October to accommodate demand. Wikipedia
