Plugin: TrainCarts - Linked Minecarts, sign-redstone systems, easy to use and realistic
Version: v1.73.0
Build: 1.7.2 R0.1/R0.2
Incompatible with: RailCraft
Description
This plugin looks for suitable Minecarts and links them together if possible. When two Minecarts are being "linked", the Minecarts will act as one single moving train.
Once carts are successfully linked, an effect is played and their velocity is shared in combination with an individual factor for each Minecart, which is used to remain a steady gap between carts. This gap is adjustable, the force at which this happens as well.
End result: a train! You can move it, make a roller-coaster out of it, split it in half, watch trains collide, whatever you want to do with trains. :)
As for 1.21, it is also possible to safely exit your train by setting an exit offset with a (sideways) push factor for the train. This feature is disabled by default. (only affects dropped items). If you want to display arrival times on signs (see redstone circuit part) you need SignLink, see the downloads on the bottom of the page.
As for 1.35 you can set train properties to make 'special' trains, or to 'finalize' a train

For configuration, permissions and how-to's, see the Wikipedia page (it is rather long):
Note that I would prefer having comments, bug reports and others in the main Bukkit page, since I visit that site the most. :)

FAQ
When players are near, trains reach their destinations. With no one near, they don't. What do I do?
By default trains do not keep chunks loaded, and they will unload once they move into unloaded chunks. To make trains keep the chunk area (and themselves) around them loaded, set the 'keepchunksloaded' property to True. This can be done using the /train keepchunksloaded true command, using a property sign or by changing it to true in the DefaultTrainProperties.yml file. For more information about train properties, see here.
Why not boats?!?!
Incompatibilities
If you have another plugin that performs similar Minecart replacement techniques, it is likely that TrainCarts will not function or function poorly. For the 'chunk persistence' part of this plugin, other plugins that unload chunks without firing events result in this feature failing. Minebackup is known for having this problem.
Metrics
This plugin sends server count statistics to MCStats.org. You can (globally) opt out in the PluginMetrics/config.yml file.

It's quite sad that it's not being actively worked on anymore, I've stopped playing the game regularly now. On the up-side, I've been getting a lot more real-life work done!
@PapaHarni
When you run a fairly active server, that's not very practical. The majority of players use the latest version of the game, and servers wanting to attract new players therefore should facilitate the majority of players by having an up-to-date server.
@Daikenkaiking
Play lower version. No one said that we must jump ever and ever to the newest version.
I like 1.6.4 and play it again everyday. Don't need the new Items and Blocks. We have life long time without all the new items too.
@andrewvpo
It is. No lies here, TrainCarts was a large reason for me playing Minecraft. Building rail lines from town to town/area/whatever. Having to walk super far EVERY time you wanna go somewhere, versus hoping on a train for a few minutes (go do something else IRL or whatever in the meantime) is really kinda "meh". I still play, but it's not nearly as fun... :/
'tis a shame, my network has been at a standstill—many imaginary people have been waiting at my stations for months. :P http:i.imgur.com/OAVJVUf.png
i use this plugin on my server, running bukkit 1.7.9 Ro 2
its amazing! the entire server is able to based around trains because of this.
Minecraft server list, my server.
Can't we just get the source, please?
@carmeops
My server is 1.7.9 and 1.7.10 and we use train carts ALOT
@Daikenkaiking
because the modders are waiting on Sponge for 1.8, there is not much they can do about it yet, also, traincarts depend on BKCommonLib, also waiting for Sponge
asking for 1.8 atm is useless, asking for 1.7.9 tho is realistic, thus, that's what i'm asking for
@carmeops
Why did you quote him on that? So -you- don't care about 1.8, a lot of others do. Calm your shit. haha...
@killertunes
don't care about 1.8, waiting for sponge for that, but there is a BKCommonLib for 1.7.9 now, if traincarts could update for that, i could finally update my server from 1.7.2
we heavily use trains, need traincarts badly XD
Update for Spigot-CraftBukkit 1.8 please.
Please update to Spigot 1.8!
@lenis0012
Is there anyway in the near future that traincarts could work for spigot 1.8? or just make it so 1.8 users can join. Thefuture of my server depends on it! If this is going to be inactive and forgotten can i take control of it? I just need updated versions. Also How new is sponge current day i cant seem to find too much info on sponge. Thank you for the support!
@lenis0012
Sry but don't work on my server. the trains are drive but if i go in, the server will be crashed with internal server error message.
Is there any way to stop all my trains in the world loading on the start of the server as my restart takes 30-40 minutes just for train carts and we have a mcpro account which has amazing ram etc
Awesome plugin :) But I may need some help here... Hmm does it work for cauldron 1.7.10, as said in the change log of Bkcommonlib?

@MrCrush77
No more , All wait until Sponge is ready. Read the description....
This Plugin is ,like many other plugins, end of support for Bukkit/Spigot.
Down grade your server or search alternative Plugins.
Hi !
I have just pass my serv to Spigot 1.8! But TrainCarts have lot of bugs, the trains doesn't move :( When do you thing TrainCarts will works with Spigot 1.8 ?
(Sorry for my English, I'm French :D)
Just throwing in my 2 cents, but I think that you should continue the plugin, for us running spigot.
plz uptade to 1.8 or 1.7,9 or something
