Detector Track contains information about the Railcraft mod.
The article Detector Track is still unfinished and may be lacking detailed general information, screenshots, and crafting recipes. Please expand the article and remove the {{unfinished}} tag once the article can be considered complete.
The Detector Track works the same as it does in vanilla Minecraft, but the recipe has been modified to conform to the Railcraft recipe scheme.
When a cart passes over a Detector Track, it emits a Redstone signal, which can be used to trigger various automated devices, based on what it's connected to.
