At first, I thought it was an aircraft on fire. The flames were so clearly visible. Then it just disappeared in the night sky. Amazing display!

Remarks
The train began with intense orange fire, flames clearly visible. Looked like there was black stuff in the flames. As the flames subsided the train turned to black smoke.
