      real property owned by or under the jurisdiction, supervision or control
      of an industrial development agency enumerated in the general  municipal
      law which is leased by such agency to a railroad company shall be exempt
      from  taxation  to the extent provided in the general municipal law, and
      from special ad valorem levies and special  assessments  to  the  extent
      that  the  assessed  valuation  of  such  property  exceeds the railroad
      ceiling of such property determined  in  accordance  with  the  earnings
      ratio  as  prescribed  in  title  two-A  or  two-B of this article on an
      assessment  roll  finally  completed  and  filed  in  nineteen   hundred

      hundred eighty-nine, the assessor may  adjust  the  assessment  of  such

      However,  following  a  revaluation or update, the assessor shall assess
      such property without regard to the restrictions of this section.
