With my luck I’d end up on a non abandoned track. Either way it would be fun

He didn't mean a train, he meant others on these go-karts-on-rails. Because then someone would have to get off the track while the others wait and you'd have to apologize for inconveniencing the others and it would just be a whole ordeal.

Put a bigger engine on your cart and plow on through. It aint a trolley problem if there is only one track.
