I don't think there's really a case for staying on the same track. Why would you? Because that's what's going to happen anyway? Nah, switch tracks.
By moving the steering wheel to change tracks, you're participating in the outcome of the situation. Thus, the death of that 1 person is your fault.
By comparison, if you do nothing and let the situation unfold without interfering, the deaths are nobody's fault. Thus, you cannot be considered guilty for what happened - it was simply a malfunction of the tram's breaks which caused the death.
Consider, also, how you would explain your actions to the relatives (perhaps the mother?) of that 1 worker.
