Interborough Rapid Transit Company 20oz Insulated Tumbler
Product Details & Size Guide
Take a piece of New York subway history along for the day. Founded in 1902, the Interborough Rapid Transit Company opened the first underground subway in 1904, serving a route from City Hall to 145th Street. Its lines and elevated railway connections helped shape the city’s transit story, while the 1913 Dual Contracts expanded that legacy. This tumbler suits daily routines, commuting, and collecting, with a design connection to the routes that remain part of New York’s numbered subway services.
Founded on May 6, 1902, by August Belmont Jr., the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) was created to operate New York City’s first underground rapid transit system. Belmont and John B. McDonald’s Rapid Transit Construction Company had won the right to build the railway in 1900. The first IRT subway opened on October 27, 1904, running from City Hall to 145th Street at Broadway. In 1903, before that subway began service, the IRT leased the Manhattan Railway Company, operator of four elevated railways in Manhattan and an extension into the Bronx. In 1913, the IRT signed the Dual Contracts with Brooklyn Rapid Transit to expand the subway; the agreement set the fare at five cents for forty-nine years. New York City acquired the IRT’s properties and operations on June 12, 1940, bringing its lines into the unified subway system. The former IRT routes are now the numbered services of the A Division, also known as the IRT Division. Later changes included transfer of the Flushing Line to IRT responsibility in 1949 and extensions to Harlem–148th Street in 1968 and 34th Street–Hudson Yards in 2015.
