Pulling the lever or not pulling the lever are both actions. Either way he is killing people. The moment he realized he could shape the outcome he became a participant. He can either participate in killing many or a few. He can either kill people sooner or slightly later. For me the "later" part is a big thing. Time = opportunity.
True, but that Greg can't know how many people may die by not diverting the train was a big influence on my decision. I realize that I assumed that Greg was not The Boss, but I'll stick to my guns here and say that I think he should make a phone call, since people are going to be injured or killed either way and he can't actually see what happened from his current vantage.
