In the video, a fast-moving train, which belongs to Canadian transport firm Metrolinx, can be seen running towards the young kids as they are running on the tracks with their backs turned toward the locomotive.

Luckily, both the children managed to get out of the way and save themselves. A third child has also been witnessed standing on the nearby track, away from the train. The video is recorded from inside the train. The railway authorities are trying to find the children to educate them and ensure they never take this kind of risk.
After being shared online, the video accumulated over 24K views. Social media users remarked on the lack of attention from the children. Some users also suggested that train services across cities should have guarded with proper security and stop individuals from walking on the tracks and passenger bridges.
