Use furnace cart to travel long distances
I have been playing minecraft and I decided to make another base connected by a railroad. I have almost no gold so I figured I would use a cart with a furnace to push me. I place the cart with a furnace on the ground and my mine-cart in front of it. Then I right click on my cart with furnace and sprint ahead to get in my cart. The only problem is that when it comes to push my cart it bangs into my cart and I go flying. The issue is then my cart with furnace goes into an unloaded chunk and my cart eventually stops moving. Then I am stuck. How do I fix this?
I am using 1.8

- Get in the cart
- Press w to shuffle your cart forward whilst facing the furnace cart
- Let the carts "rub" for half a second or so
- Whilst the carts are "rubbing" together click the furnace cart with fuel
- Enjoy the ride

Answer 2
In order to ride a minecart connected to a furnace minecart, you can just put the minecart with furnace behind you and activate it. The minecart whams into you and you go flying. You eventually may need to refuel the furnace minecart, but I know you won't get dismounted whenever you go up- or downhill. Sadly, you have to refuel the furnace minecart whenever you turn.
