This has always been my option. Derail the train, if there is a moral choice it is to do everything you can to stop the trolley and failing that is the only guiltless choice.

If you tried a third option over the two choices given then you can't feel guilty if the third option doesn't work.

Derailing the trolley kills the 10 passengers aboard

As passengers their families would be given insurance payouts by the train company so that would be fine.
