Would pulling the switch be a felony? Would not pulling the switch be one? Would a preservation-of-life defense hold any water?

Are there any notable cases about this?

    I imagine it would very by jurisdiction as well as the specific facts of the case. Like if you’re a conductor for example and your job duties include keeping the tracks safe, failing to do so could be negligence, assuming the facts show that you reasonably could have prevented it
