 If the sign, obsidian block or rail is powered by a line of redstone the minecart will recive a large boost
 ===How To Construct A 2-Way Station===
 The main limitation of stations is the fact they are only one way, however this can be mitigated using the following simple setup:
 This works due to the fact that, to recive the previously mentioned boost, the station does not have to be directly powered meaning line of redstone can power both stations

Stations will stop any minecarts passing over them and, when powered using redstone, give them a large boost. 
To make a station, simply: 
# Write <code>[Station]</code> on the second line of a sign facing in the direction you wish the station to propel a minecart in 
# Place an obsidian block on top of the sign, and 
# Place a rain atop the obsidian block. 
If the sign, obsidian block or rail is powered by a line of redstone the minecart will recive a large boost
