The Mohawk Valley Service Plaza serves westbound traffic on I-90. This plaza is between the Interstate and the Erie Canal, so there is a lot to see here. Just inside the Visitors Center is a set of four glass cases with a somewhat eclectic set of displays, ranging from hand-made baseballs to rocks and minerals. Three pieces of somewhat elder technology can be seen here. Two items on display together are an Automatic Circuit Breaker and a MilliVolt Meter. The New York State Canal System used all-electric mechanisms to operate the locks and other water-control structures. This meter was used to test these electric components to ensure proper operation.
