Hello Fellow Minecrafters™️,
i’m a redstone noob. i play single player world vanilla, no-cheats.
here’s the thing tho: i’m definitely aesthetic-oriented and yet i want things to do cool stuff, and this includes my mini-subway system.
pictured is the railway right now. i want to be able to push a button or flip a lever and make the cart go, but be assured too that the cart will stop when i reach the end and not bounce back. i thought that maybe a piston would do the trick but then learned i can’t use pistons to push the carts 🙁
any ideas?? i’d love to hear them!! thanks everyone 🙂

Powered rail at the end, button next to it or on the cobble. Cart comes and stops, press and it goes
You just need a powered rail and a button. The powered rail stops the minecart from moving when it’s not powers and the button will allow it to move. If it gets stuck make the powered rail a 1 block slope
An unpowered power rail will slow /stop a mine cart.
On the track towards the end use a detector rail before a powered rail that is powered by the detector rail. Going towards the end you pass over the detector rail which powers the power rail and you pass over. But then the detector rail no longer detects you do the powered rail depowers to stop you bouncing back as it slows / stops you.
