  the efficacy of the  temporary  property  tax  alterations  designed  to
  foster  the  goals  of  the service enhancement program. The legislature
  recognizes that the railroad taxation and service advisory  council  may
  make   recommendations   concerning  the  continuation  of  the  service
  enhancement program based upon its findings.

  article four of the real  property  tax  law,  as  applicable,  and  the
  railroad's  size  classification  as  determined  by  the  United States

  shall expand their maintenance-of-way programs over and above the  level
  the railroad would have otherwise undertaken.

  shall  apply  their  additional tax abatement toward the continuation of
  service, in a manner determined by railroad management.

  service  is  operated  shall  include  projects  which will benefit such
  service and shall demonstrate a willingness to  cooperate  in  achieving
  public and private improvement initiatives.
5.  Further, all railroads participating in the program are encouraged
  to select projects which complement  or  build  upon  railroad  projects
  supported with public funds.
