Powered Rails are a variant of Rails which were added in Update 0.8.0. Powered Rails act as boosters to speed up Minecarts.
A Powered Rail is a block that decreases and increases the speed of Minecarts along a Rail system. It was added as a response to the Minecart booster bug, which was fixed with the release of Beta 1.6 and 0.8.0 for Minecraft: Pocket Edition. Like Detector Rails and Activator Rails, and unlike regular rails, Powered Rails cannot be curved.
