Power golden rails from minecart(placing rails in large scale)
Is there any way how to power golden rails from within minecart? What I mean is placing rails on the go and also some way of powering them immediately.
To place them on the go is easy, I just put a minecart with a furnace behind me and hold "use" button for placing them, but if I place the golden ones, they're deactivated, so they slow me down.
The only thing I can think of are detectors, but those are pretty much useless here, because:
- the time the golden rails stay active is the same as if I'd use a button
- switching between items even with numbers on keyboard is slow
When I played minecraft PE, there it was directly placing powered rails(redstone didn't work). Isn't in PC version something similar? Or maybe some way for placing two items at the same time?

How do you place powered rails efficiently?
One common, and according to many, the most efficient, distribution of powered rails is to place powered rail every 38 blocks on level ground. An easy way to place a lot of track using this count without needing to keep track of each rail is by dividing the rails into stacks of 37, as shown on the right.How far apart do powered rails need to be for max speed?
Thereafter, the optimal spacing of powered rails on a level track is to use 1 every 38 blocks for occupied carts (that is, a repeating pattern of 1 powered rail followed by 37 normal rails, then another powered rail, and so on) which maintains a constant minecart speed of 7.97 m/s.How far do powered rails push a minecart?
Powered rails will push your minecarts up to eight blocks a second. They can also push you uphill if you place enough of them.How do you power a minecart in rails?
Powered rails no longer have intrinsic power, i.e. they need to be powered by an external power source. Powered rails can now be found in minecart with chests inside of mineshafts.Tutorial: Stop-or-Go Minecart Rail Station
