This video is way too long, boring and repetitious. I lost interest half way through and never did get to see what was thrown. Needs to be re-edited.

Nope, that's Holmesburg Junction - in the city.

I'll admit that back in the day when we were little kids my friends & I used to throw rocks at regional rail trains running through the city....but those were big kids in that video...throwing stuff at fast-moving Acela trains...and not little rocks but big metal pipes! Too bad it didn't rebound back into his face.

I wasn't really sure what station it was, and figured there was a decent chance I was wrong. But since it was just a joke, I also figured it didn't really matter. Maybe these are the types of people who ruined the NE for frank?

Either way, it's such an ignorant thing to do with kids who should have better things to do (and based on their apparent age, should have known better). I can totally see it happening in the small town I grew up in. Two bored kids sitting around, planning out their day - and due to lack of anything positive, decided to just engage in some sociopathic behavior.
