@akmur @catsalad As far as I know, in the original trolley problem, it's a cargo wagon.

In the variant with a commuter train, the possible solutions are:
1) do nothing - three rabbits and everybody in the commuter train dies
2) switch rails - one rabbit and everybody in the commuter train dies
3) make the train derail - possibly everybody in the commuter train dies - but no rabbit gets injured

Some take 3) - least number of total deaths.

I take 3) b/c it's creative & not hurting animals. 🤣
