"Ride the rails."

Rail Handcars are a mode of transportation. They can be used to travel on rails.

Appearance

A rail handcar looks like a wooden platform with a wheel at each corner. A post in the center supports a teeter-totter like crossbar.

Rail handcars must be made on a train yard.

Use

The only place a rail handcar can be used is on a connected series of rails. If it leaves the rails, the handcar will fall as a loose item. It cannot carry more than one Blockhead during a trip.

The speed of a rail handcar is faster than a steam locomotive when it is traveling downhill or on flat ground. When traveling uphill, the player slows down, and if they slow down too much, Blockheads will fallback downhill.

As rail handcars can leave their rails, it is possible for a handcar to leave the ground. If in the air long enough, upon landing, it will display the number of blocks traveled in the air. However, if a handcar crashes into a solid block at a high enough speed, Blockheads will lose health.
