WIll powered rails make powered minecarts faster?
Will placing powered rails to make powered minecarts go faster? I want to make trains with powered minecarts that push normal ones and ones with chests. I saw that normal minecarts go slower on powered rails, but is it the same with powered minecarts (with furnaces)?

How do you make a minecart track go faster?
Powered rails will only speed you up as you are on top of them. If you have many rails placed in a row the top speed you can reach is eight blocks a second. It seems the only way to make powered rails faster is to place more of them. There used to be ways to create minecart boosters, but it has since been patched.Do more powered rails make you go faster?
Any minecart climbing a slope requires three powered rails in a row to reach top speed, and a powered rail every two blocks to maintain maximum speed. A minecart with a chest or hopper in it requires three powered rails in a row to reach top speed, and a powered rail every eight blocks to maintain maximum speed.4 New Ways to Build Fastest Railroad in Minecraft !
