Stratford police are aware of a video posted on social media depicting two youth seemingly taking a train for a stint down the tracks in Stratford.
The video, which is only 30 seconds long and was posted on Reddit, shows an unknown camera operator within a train cab turning the vehicle on, then pointing the camera and showing a boy hanging off the nose of a locomotive as it begins to move forward.
Comments on the video make many assertions, though local police only confirmed a few aspects of the incident.
One youth is known to police, though not necessarily for any criminal behaviour. He is located in the region.
Stratford police originally asserted that the matter is being investigated by the Canadian National (CN) Police Service, which monitors CN assets, though a representative of the national railway line has since confirmed that no CN assets were involved in the incident.
