A warning after reports of kids playing chicken on local train tracks.

Greater Sudbury Police say they’ve received calls the last two nights about the dangerous game on the railway lines that run parallel to Howey Drive in the Minnow Lake area.

In one instance, a train was forced into an emergency stop last night to avoid hitting one of the kids.

Police say not only is this dangerous and could lead to death or serious injury….it’s also a criminal offence since railway tracks and the area around them are private property.
