Powered Rail

The Powered Rail is a block that players craft from gold ingots, redstone dust, and sticks. When broken, it drops itself, so it can be picked up and placed somewhere else. It can also be waterlogged.

Players make powered rails when they want to lay down track with a special kind of rail section. Because the block returns itself when mined, a track can be taken apart and rebuilt in a new spot without losing any pieces.
