Trains operated by Northern were targeted almost 70 times in the last 12 months, the firm says.
after the train she was travelling on with her parents was attacked on the approach to Hull.
Attacks were also recorded across the network, including in Leeds, Doncaster, Newcastle, Skipton, Worksop and Blackpool.Tricia Williams, chief operating officer at Northern, said: "It's bewildering to think some people find targeting trains in this way is some kind of 'sport' - and the fact it's happening more than once a week is shocking.
"We know these attacks are rarely carried out by a 'lone wolf' and are more often the action of a group - where peer pressure and group mob mentality can be a contributing factor," she said.British Transport Police's Acting Supt Lorna McEwan said: "Obstructing the railway is a stupid, reckless and mindless act. Placing items on the line or throwing rocks and stones at passing trains risks the lives of passengers and rail staff.
"This is not a harmless prank - it is criminal, it is dangerous, and we will prosecute those responsible," she added. Anyone who witnesses items being thrown at trains or sees someone placing items on the track is urged to contact British Transport Police or Crimestoppers.
