I can put one later.. I'm at work at the moment...
__ so like that pretty much, the wood is half slabs. The furnaces are the carts w/furnaces and the chest are chests w/carts.So it comes to a stop and they don't get derailed as the back furnace keeps on pushing.. Same thing would be in the other end/ "dropstation".
OK, thanks! I think I've got the idea now... when you said "drop station," I was thinking of the sort of station where pistons open up and the minecarts literally drop onto a track below.

No, just simple filling and retrieving area. So that the carts don't get knocked off track accidentally.
But hmm.. now I might look into implementing pistons to the set up since I love pistons!~

A word of warning to those thinking of trying powered Minecarts!
A short while back, I actually made a "train" of minecarts with furnaces, chests and regular minecarts full of animals, with the intention of moving semi-permanently underground. It didn't last long as the unintuitive way that powered minecarts work very nearly had my keyboard going through the screen. Basically, the powered minecart will accelerate AWAY from you whenever you put a piece of coal in it, making it impossible to sit in a minecart with a powered cart in front of you, the rest of the train behind you, and be successfully pushed in the direction you want to go. The only way to do it is to stand outside of the train, put coal in the furnace and then frantically run after the terrain and desperately try and get in the cart. Then there's the issue with gradients; the powered carts only go up them sometimes.
In other words, it's a great idea implemented with all the finesse of a slap from a wet fish, and that doesn't work properly.
Before you write off power minecarts because of you don't want to have to sprint ahead of the moving carts to get in, you might want to check out this video. He has the furnace minecart circle around and come up behind the minecart he's sitting in.
