In that case, no, and you’re not responsible anymore. Those people working on switching out the trolley parts had every available opportunity to fully stop the trolley, more-so than you. You diverted it to save a life immediately, that crew maintaining this Trolley of Death are the real murderers.

What if the maintenance crew themselves didn't know that the trolley was going to hit the tied down person 1000 miles away?

I blame the trolley company's CEO and shareholders for allowing a random person to divert the trolley's path in the first place.
