Everything comes to those who wait

As of the current version of Minecraft (alpha v1.0.4) the game contains minecarts and rail track. Unfortunately both are completely worthless as there is no way to give the carts acceleration and overcome the basic limitations of gravity.

There is a silver lining to this blunder of game design. There was a glitch in the game that occurred when a cart came into contact with another cart that was placed parallel to the main line. The carts would lock together and accelerate quickly and provide the speed necessary to do useful things, such as going uphill.

Here are the results of my test line demonstrating a basic booster cart setup.
As you can see the glitch isn't present in my current version. I'll have to attempt it again at a later update.
