I wonder why it has a 50 foot antenna tower.

  This seems like a pretty relevant question. Maybe this deli is perfectly located for some HFT play?

    You'd expect that to use a different antenna, something directional and for higher frequencies. E.G. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2019-03-08/the-gazillion-dollar-standoff-over-two-high-frequency-trading-towers https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2019-03-08/the-gazil...

  Go back in time on Street View and you'll see it was a Conrail family assistance center (?)... so maybe they used that to talk to the trains. Look at the elements on that tower and looks an awful lot like stuff I've seen out the window of a train. Little rectangular bow-tie looking things, mounted so their long axis is up-down.

    Yes, those look like folded dipoles for VHF, which is the band railroads use.
