The real question for me is what unit of distance would be used for the integer representation… It could take 1 meter, 1 Km, 1 Au, or even 1 Infinity to represent the distance between every person and the next. Also, are we using a linear or logarithmic scale?
This is not to mention the lack of info on how fast the train is going, and whether or not it’s accelerating.
If we are already dealing with infinities of peoples then we can deal just as easily with infinities of tracks. I just struggle to see what kind of power source the trolly uses to plow through that many people.
I would question the ability to line people up on a railroad track such that they have a 1:1 correspondence with the real numbers.

just use a well ordering of the reals and you should be fine
It’s totally doable because they are real people.
Yeah, for any length of track, you would need to stack infinite people…

We have nuclear subs, why not nuclear trollies?
Nuclear lasts a long time, but it’s nothing compared to infinity.
It’s powered by screams.
An infinity cube, of course
