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 [[Items|item]]. It cannot carry more than one [[Blockhead]] during a trip.

The speed of a rail handcar is faster than a [[Steam Locomotive|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, the riding Blockhead will lose [[Health Bar|health]].

Even running off the end of a rail fast enough will cause injuries.


While a handcars can be used in only two blocks of vertical [[Air|space]], three are recommended, particularly around changes in elevation. Insufficient height will cause a Blockhead to collide with an overhead block, knocking it off the handcar and the handcar off the rails.
