Railcraft

Railcraft is a mod created by CovertJaguar that primarily expands upon existing Minecart functionality, including new tracks, new carts, a signaling system, and the ability to link carts to one another. As well as advanced Minecart and rail systems, Railcraft adds unique ways of item transportation, liquid storage, and item-based redstone logic.
