dear esteemed senatoriables,
greetings from dear great leader!
you have made it this far. in a few days, the nation will know who among you lucky patriots get to serve this beloved country of ours. surely, our dear countrymen are just as excited to be served by you as you are excited to serve us.
comrade ladies and gentlemen, as you face the culmination of this year-long folly, er, quest, allow me to invite you to a thought experiment. calm down, this thought experiment will not involve the curvatures of spacetime.
suppose we have a young lady on board a runaway train that is speeding the wrong way on a one-way track. as is obvious, the young lady will have to be saved. the task of saving her does not fall on the shoulders of a mutant superhero but it will be the duty of group of ordinary people. it appears that volunteers are being rounded up for the job of saving the young lady and you are among those who have so gallantly presented themselves as up to the task. you look around you and you see a motley crew: people with varying degrees of knowledge on how to go about steering the train to safety. some have worked with trains extensively. some are daughters, sons, cousins of people working in the train company. some volunteered, claiming to be follow god's command. still others have worked for the abolition of trains, insisting that buses are a better mode of transportation. the people choose from among you volunteers. as you suit up and get ready to save the young lady, ask yourself the following question:
1. there are dire consequences if you make a mistake. heck, the young lady could die. do you sincerely believe that you can do the job?
2. what if, at some point during the rescue, you will be asked to make a personal sacrifice, say lose a limb or break a bone? would you do it?
3. can we trust you?
comrade ladies and gentlemen, if the answer to any of those questions is NO, dear great leader pleads, "pack up your bags and go."
viva la revolucion (and off with your heads if you let us down),
dear great leader

Its a one way track; ergo no problemo. The only way for it to return is in the direction from whence it came or for the dead pedal unblocked if the train were the new type you could stop it frim central.. Your question has multiple correct solutions all equally valid.
