B. When so provided, any person may connect with the private track thereby connected with the railroad and may use the private track or spur upon payment to the party incurring the primary expense of the private track or spur a reasonable proportion of the cost thereof, to be determined by the commission after notice and hearing, if such connection and use can be made without unreasonable interference with the rights of the party incurring the primary expense.
