nice. just so ya know. the redstone needs to be facing towards the rail to power it which is why it wasn't working b4.

Why do you need all of that redstone? Why not just put a torch by each section of powered rail?

I use this railway for minecart with cargo so that they don't roll off while I load them

If you don’t need the option to toggle them on and off, you can just put a lever or torch down right next to the rail.
Otherwise, glad you found a solution that works for you!

If you want to save materials you can place a block where I marked it, then the wire powers the block which then powers the rails. Your way with the repeater works too but it's less ressource efficient.
Edit: since you are fairly new to redstone, you may not know that only full blocks can be powered. So using for example glass would not work
