Break in, pull the lever, light the building on fire, derail the trolley
Okay we don't need to be doing violence against innocent trains here
I'm assuming here that if the lever is privatized, the only occupants of the train are exceedingly wealthy. It's a shame for the train, but seems a worthy sacrifice.
Okay guilty trains can be destroyed it will be mourned I'm so upset right now how could a train go so bad
