Hi Max,
I am going to assume that you are either loading the data into the 
browser or pasting it in. Either way, the dataset is missing the 
required track definition line. This definition line is the first line 
for any wiggle file.

I was able to paste in your data and load it by adding the minimum 
required definition line.

track type=wiggle_0
fixedStep       chrom=chr1      start=60000000  step=1
0
0
0
0

For more details about the definition line (including additional 
options), please see this documentation page and scroll down to 
"Parameters for wiggle track definition lines"
http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/wiggle.html

Give this a try and let us know if you are still experiencing problems 
or if I have misinterpreted your question,
