Where a nonexclusive right of ingress and egress for the use of a rail spur track is created on and over a servient estate for access to loading docks at the rear of a building on a dominant estate for the loading and unloading of vehicles and for purposes incidental to such loading and unloading, including the parking of vehicles while engaged in such loading and unloading, such rights and benefits associated with such dominant easement, shall continue, or be reinstated, as necessary, even if such rail spur track has been abandoned or use of such rail spur track has been discontinued.
