I was driving north when the fireball happened. It was bright enough to cause shadows in my pickup which is how I 1st noticed it. Assuming the meteor came from the SE I would not of seen any preliminary streaks of light before the fireball. My time of the fireball could be off by 2 to 3 minutes.

1st the fireball and then the glowing train appear. The train looked like a streak of light that lasted about 2 seconds. The train disappeared long before it hit the horizon.
Terminal flash

Yes
Remarks
The flash appeared to be about 1/2 to 3/4 the size of the moon. All I saw was the flash then the glowing train.
