Reason to have gold
Finaly, a useful use for gold! --Biofan30 14:55, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Gold tracks
Can we please remove that gold part until it is either confirmed by Notch or Jeb_, or it is actually in the game? Levy 17:39, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

It was tweeted in the very first discussion. I've added links to the entire conversation now; it's definitely crafted using gold as opposed to iron, but we don't have any evidence about the specific crafting pattern other than that there's no reason for it to be different. —KPReid 18:35, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Boosting Effect
It looks like powered track actually will start a minecart moving if the direction is unambiguous, such as when the cart is at the end of the track. Harbinger0x7c0 16:30, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Heh... Page got updated while I wrote the comment. Harbinger0x7c0 16:50, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Images
I can't upload images for whatever reason, so here's the large images. If someone could upload them and put them into the article, that would be great. Both are already run through OptiPNG.

 * Thanks, uploaded both. Using the "Off" one for the image for now.  Like the Sapling image, this should probably be turned into an animated gif eventually.  -- Theothersteve7 18:24, 19 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Here is a gif, if you think that's better - http://wkter.com/dw/powered_rail.gif -- Wkter 20:44, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
