Minecart Issue - Shaking instead of Moving

Minecart Issue - Shaking instead of Moving -

enter image description here

The above is a screenshot of the underground 1-way subway I am creating in Minecraft survival 1.8.8.

In the situation in the image above, when I try to ride the minecart, the minecart shakes and ejects me instead of moving forward. It should be noted that the shaking also occurs when the block behind the minecart is removed.

What is going on here, and how do I fix it? Thank you.

Why is my minecart wobbling in Minecraft?

You're using the wrong rails. To a person new to Minecraft, those names are tricky.

Why is my minecart not moving on a powered rail?

If a minecart is at rest on a deactivated powered rail, simply powering the rail will not make it move. The minecart must be kickstarted somehow, e.g. by a player pushing it in the desired direction. I'd like to make a traditional train station, where the carts stop briefly at a platform before speeding away.

How do you keep a minecart moving?

By placing a redstone torch (or any source of redstone power) next to the rail, it will propel carts forward.
