		This day SOAC was on the run from Brighton Beach up the 6th Avenue subway in Manhattan to the Concourse Line in the Bronx.
		The "train" consisted of two 75' cars—one for heavy passenger loads and the other "commuter designed" with more generous seating—and it was certain that the interested and the curious responding to a full-page ad in New York newspapers would fill it in no time.
		So, to be assured of some little (hopefully prime) place on this ride into transit's future, The Traveler took a local to the less romantic Brighton Beach station from which SOAC would begin its ride into the more immediate future.
