What the title says. Can they?

I don't know - why don't you try it and let us know what happens?

[bloop_bleep]

I seem to recall a minecart passing through a gear assembly before, so I would think that they could. There's also the fact that axles can be built on minecart tracks in the first place. However, I don't want to build the contraption I have in mind and then have to tear everything down again, so I'll see if anyone else knows the answer for me.

EDIT: Can confirm, that yes, minecarts can pass through tiles with axles.

Man, I am still kinda getting used to axles and gears, I barely touch minecarts in my forts. Good luck with your project! If its interesting share the results.

I believe they do so, just like they allegedly pass through statues (which also allows you to stop dwarves and animals taking shortcuts through the metro system).

The first time I worked with mechanisms, in my second fortress, in DF2010, I tried to hook up an axle to a floodgate. Then I realised I didn't need to do so, and it was opened by action at a distance using levers.
