Excellent point. Consider this:
If it is possible to return the train to the station, then the train can
be unloaded in the station, which is really the only safe way to do it.
Unloading the train on the lift is possible (and it is appropriately done
with a work platform, not with a ladder truck...) but involves a
significant increase in potential risk to the riders.
So long as the riders are strapped into their seats, they aren't going
anywhere, and the worst that will happen is some discomfort. To solve the
problem, the appropriate thing to do is to either get the lift mechanism
working and bring the train down, or to get out a sledge hammer and cut
the train loose from the catch car and let it roll down to the station.
It really isn't worth the added risk to pull people off the lift unless
there is truly no other way to do it.
