The setting for this episode is a town somewhere near Binghamton, New York which is Rod Serling's home town. Binghamton is mentioned several times as well as other nearby upstate towns such as Cortland, Syracuse, and Buffalo. I found this to be particularly intriguing having lived in Binghamton myself and still, from time to time, go from New York City to Buffalo (Vera Miles' destination) by way of this route and have experienced extended delays in old stations like this one. It is obvious that the setting and dialog are influenced by memories of one who has been there and remembers it well. This episode definitely brings you close to Rod Serling's roots.
