My original idea for this involved two tracks (like the original trolley problem) and which track you chose (for minimum casualties) would depend on your interpretation of the physics problem.
Unfortunately it ended up super complicated and I made this simple one instead.
But adding the train on a treadmill is a great way to overcomplicate it further if I ever go for the complicated version.
