Isn't that Route 61?

Yes ... in the hard coal regions in eastern Pennsylvania  ... I think the
exact
location may have been St. Clair in Carbon County.  The town lays in a
valley on
Route 51 between Pottsville and Frackville.  I that instance I don't think
there was
any television station closer than Lancaster or Wilkes-Barre until UHF bands
were
assigned.  Even the state capital had no television until licenses for UHF
channel
21 was issued, perhaps in the early 1960s.
