- I am a regular commuter on the Toronto-Barrie GO train. We have had
- several instances on my train of this. Going through the Parkdale
- area of Toronto, an area politely called "economically disadvantaged",
- things (heavy things, by the sound of it) have been dropped on the
- roof of the train from pedestrian overpasses. Also, I once watched
- a kid drawing a bead on us with one of those wrist slingshots.
- You can bet I ducked down below the window mighty quick!!
