Metrolinx is investigating after footage surfaced of people standing on train tracks and taking cellphone photos outside the Kitchener GO station Thursday morning. The videos, posted to Twitter by Carly Mohr, who lives in Tavistock, Ont., show a man appearing to stand in the middle of the tracks taking photos of a group of people gathered on the tracks and the platform’s yellow line. The man with the cellphone camera “originally was just taking photos from the inside track but then moved further to the other side,” she said. Mohr said a train rolled into the station 30 seconds after she stopped filming, forcing the man to run across the tracks to get back to the platform. “What we saw out there today was just incredibly stupid and incredibly dangerous,” Metrolinx spokesperson Matt Llewellyn told the Star.
