The trolley will probably stop before you reach infinity luckily
Comment on 2³² will get interesting...

I would, because the second track potentially scales to infinity, and pulling the lever is the only sure way to minimize the death and suffering.
Also, if everyone avoids pulling the lever, you technically have an infinite amount of people who will die and an infinite amount of guilty consciences, also an infinite amount of people blaming the last guy for forcing the decision on them, like the most messed up version of the infinity hotel.

But once you get to round 33, everyone on earth is tied to the track, so there’s no one to pull the lever. That means that the trolley safely passes by, giving everyone ample time to free themselves. Eventually, the trolley stops due to friction with the track and air, plus brakes if it’s using them, and then we all stop getting tied to tracks.

Also, I actually have my doubts that the trolley could get through 8 000 000 000 people before stopping due to the resistance, so at least some people should be fine.
