5000 block Minecart railway from a base to a Woodland Mansion in Minecraft!

I built this basic rail system of approximately 5000 blocks, piece by piece, as I wanted to link my main base up with the nearest Woodland Mansion. And since it was so far away, I wanted a faster travel. It took a long time, laying the dirt or cobblestone and mostly over a huge ocean, then putting in the rails and redstone torches. It is technically unfinished since it has not yet been prettied up and the blocks are haphazard but the practical foundations are there.

This was made prior to my starting Minecraft videos here on Youtube so I was not recording building at the time. It was one of the biggest builds I'd done in my Peaceful world. So it is Survival but no risk of Creepers blowing it up. LOL I didn't want to deal with that back then.

I thought it'd be fun to show the actual journey of travelling there (and back again!) on the Minecart in actual time. Feel free to speed it up! There isn't a lot to see besides ocean but maybe I'll build some scenic things eventually. It can be a relaxing journey to just sit and travel in the Minecart.

I have a couple of smaller track builds in this world too, which I'll upload in videos sometime. One to a Trail Ruins and another up the hill to my base from a cave (briefly seen in here too).
