What's this about (older) PA 61?

I find:

"PA 261 was first designated in 1928 to run from the Delaware border to PA 61 (Concord Road) and PA 161 (Chelsea Road) in Chelsea, following Foulk Road."

OK (and OK for the link to PA 161, which route number is no longer in use, but I fail to see (on PA 61 page, with PA 61 running north out of Reading) a reference to this older use of PA 61 designation.

:The original PA 61 was designated along what became US 322 between Concordville and Chester, which is now today unnumbered Concord Road. The route can be seen on the [http://www.mapsofpa.com/art5pics/1928phila3.jpg 1928 map]. Pennsylvania Route 61 (1920s) exists as a redirect to U.S. Route 322 in Pennsylvania, which is where the original designation of PA 61 should be covered. The current PA 61, which was designated in the 1960s to replace the portion of US 122 between Reading and Sunbury, has no relation to the former route and therefore the former route is not covered in the PA 61 article.
