A Metrolinx spokesperson says there’s an “alarming” number of incidents of people trespassing on rail corridors since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the weekend a family with two small children had a near miss on a rail bridge that runs over water towards Niagara Falls.

Three people died in both 2018 and 2017 after accidentally being hit by GO Transit trains, according to data shared with the Star. Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
