soulsand doesn't impede the lateral movement of carts as much as a normal block, due to the fact it is 1/16 shorter.
further more an open gate is a completely non physical entity when open. so i combined these two ideas and put a fence gate on a peice of soul sand with powered rail leading to the soul sand and out of the soul sand and bam! pure magic. the mine cart will skip right over the sand and onto the next powered rail.
you could use this along side some detector rails and and some redstone. maybe a t flip flop of some sort and this could be used to keep mobs out of tunnels where your rails go.
