When building a minecart rail through multiple overworld biomes, what do I need to do to stop mobs from blocking the track?
The track will have tunnels, raised tracks, and tracks on the ground at various points. How do I stop spiders, etc from climbing or spawning on my tracks, especially when an above ground track goes into a tunnel?

The only truly foolproof methods for a safe area out in the open are:
A running water moat (ie dig a 1x4 ditch each side and fill the closest block of each moat with water)
Or a 2-high wall with an overhang, on each side of the track, with the track section lit. Fencing or glass will give a better view, but are more resource (in-game, not PC) heavy.
In a tunnel, light the inside well and construct minecart doors at each end using activator rails and pistons
