Police described this activity as “extremely dangerous”.
Metrolinx said it is aware of these reports and is currently investigating the CCTV footage.
“As of right now, there is no impact on GO train service. It’s an extremely dangerous act that we take very seriously. Not only can you face hefty fines if you’re caught, but you could also pay the ultimate price if you participate in them dangerous acts,” a Metrolinx spokesperson told CTV News Toronto.
Police are en route to the scene, along with GO Train’s special constable.

At 5 p.m., there were also reports of a trespasser between the Exhibition and Mimico GO stations. Lakeshore West Train said local police asked operators to stop rail traffic in the area.
About 15 minutes later, the tracks started moving again.
Earlier this month, the TTC began investigating an “incredibly inappropriate stunt” that involved two masked men carrying Canadian flags “surfing” on the roof of a moving subway train.
