Maybe the person doesn’t enjoy killing, but they realize that even passing the decision on is a choice and they are responsible for everyone on that track after they passed. And at some point, they will be added to that track as well. It then becomes a very primal question, are you willing to kill to save your own life?
This could also be setup in a way where no choice leads the train to automatically run down the doubling side, so when there are no people left to add, the entire human population is automatically wiped out.
I agree that the first person in line choosing to kill one is the right thing to do, as hard as it may be for them, they can take comfort in knowing they potentially saved millions of lives, as likely their own.
