Remarks	The train was a grey smoke trail following the bright fireball. A red glow formed toward the end of the trajectory and some turbulence in the smoke trail was visible right before the fireball went out of view. The fireball went out of view behind a hillside so I don't know if there was a terminal flash or fragmentation since it was out of sight.
