Does anyone know what does this refers too? - Grail99 Treasure Hunt

[Genesis111]

Hi everyone!

Can anyone can help me with this clue: In Public I ride on, the legacy of an enormous vision, the first of many one of whom we mourn today"

For more context I am currently playing a treasure hunt that is called Grail99 that it just going to start, since this game started in Boston but now they are even allowed anyone to play I am unsure if this refers to a local Boston clue or other states.

If anyone is interested I can pair to play the game!

It sounds like the clue you're dealing with is filled with some important references, and you're wondering whether it's referring to something local to Boston or something more widespread.

• "In Public I ride on": This could suggest something that operates or moves in public spaces—possibly a public transportation system, a monument, or something visible and widely used.
• "The legacy of an enormous vision": This could refer to something with a grand or ambitious origin, maybe a project or an idea that had a significant impact.
• "The first of many one of whom we mourn today": This phrase seems to indicate that it’s referring to someone who was the first in a series, and this person has passed away recently, or there's mourning associated with them.

Considering these elements, it’s possible that the clue is referring to The Boston Trolley/Streetcar system (as public transportation is a likely candidate). Boston had one of the first streetcar systems in the U.S., and the "first of many" could be referencing the first streetcars in the city's history. The "legacy of an enormous vision" could be talking about the visionary urban planning behind the transportation system, or even the broader development of public transit in the U.S. A public figure tied to this system might also be referenced.

As for "we mourn today," this could refer to a recent passing of a notable individual associated with the Boston transit history, or even a major public figure whose death was widely recognized.
