RCC Los Angeles


This week's mug is from the Rail Construction Corporation, a subsidiary of the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission.  Yes, a long name for a single mug.  On the right side of the mug is the Logo for the RCC along with its long title. There is also the logo for the LACTC. 
On the left side of the mug is a large dark cloud shape in the middle of which you can just about make out the shape of a car.
When hot liquid is added, the entire dark area clears to reveal a light rail train above which is the phrase "The Way is Clear!"  The mug was released to coincide with the construction and opening of the Los Angeles Subway System (The Blue Line) in 1990.

 The color change is about average, but does clear enough to show the change in full.  A great mug and a piece of LA History!

DESIGN:  1+ sided
THERMOCHROMIC: 1 Color
TYPE: Promotional

    I worked for the LACTC back in late 80's early 90's. I have a very plain mug. That's great!
