It is difficult to scale the size of the antenna elements from the photo but I think it is a 4 bay 220 MHz antenna, not VHF. For 220 each dipole element would be about 2' vs 3' for VHF. 220MHz = PTC.
The monopole support structure is also typical of PTC installations. I suspect this could relate to the proposed high speed rail test in that area between Churchville and Byron. If so, I would expect a similar installation somewhere near Byron.
I have seen no changes in NF Dispatcher signal strength from the Batavia and Rochester base stations when communicating with trains in that area and there have been no recent FCC applications for any changes on VHF in this area.
