It was very bright, we were walking the dog when we saw it and probably watched it 8-10 seconds. One of the coolest things I've ever seen in the sky.

Remarks
The train was glowing, just not as bright as the "head" or whatever you call the first part. Thought it was the brightest, longest shooting star I've ever seen until I read other reports this morning.
